Fried Combinor Box [RE-wrenches]

People are using wire nuts for low voltage DC??? Wire nuts should only
be used for higher voltage low current applications where minimal
amounts of additional resistance don't matter.

In any low voltage high current applications wire nuts are a BIG
no-no... too much resistance. Solder or use split bolts.
