A fact from Brookville Liberty Modern Streetcar appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 July 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Brookville Liberty Modern Streetcar has a hybrid design that allows it to run on either battery power or via pantograph and overhead line?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2017/July. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Brookville Liberty Modern Streetcar.

Clarification needed

@Cards84664: @IJBall: Dallas Streetcar#Rolling stock Brookville Liberty Modern Streetcar#Design What is meant by 750 V lithium-ion batteries or how do 750 V DC overhead lines charge lithium-ion batteries? They don't appear to be large enough. Peter Horn User talk 16:12, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall who added that (it probably wasn't me). My guess is that that is from a source. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:25, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look on the corporate website, Or else track down the contributor. Peter Horn User talk 20:44, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the source in question from which I cited the 750 V claim: Vantuono, William C. (June 9, 2015). "Detroit orders new streetcars from Brookville". Railway Age. Retrieved May 18, 2017. {{cite news}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |dead-url= (help) Michael Barera (talk) 03:43, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Still, no single solitary lithium-ion battery would be able to provide an output of 750 V DC. that would be the sum total of a number of batteries in series and in battery packs. Peter Horn User talk 14:40, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, in parallel? I need to refresh my memory on that. Peter Horn User talk 14:52, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First comment was correct, to achieve higher higher voltages you need to wire the cells up in series. --Quassy_.DE 13:43, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A battery is composed of one or more electrochemical cells, so a single battery could actually have a nominal voltage of 750 V, though unlikely. --Quassy_.DE 13:43, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
