Equalizing battery charger [RE-wrenches]

[Nick Lucchese]

<x-flowed>

Greetings Drake,

Two out of the last 5 that I have modified also have an additional 
layer of protection to the pot. It appears like they have added some 
sort of adhesive over the pot so I've had to remove the end screws 
that hold on the aluminum side and vent fan. Once that is off you can 
access the pot and scrape the adhesive layer off around it so that it 
turns freely. Not sure if this is a supposed to  act as a deterrent 
or possibly prevent the pot from turning due to vibration. I did also 
recently notice one that I had previously set to 14.7 bulk putting 
out 15.1 vdc without the jumper. Not certain if this was from 
vibration coming from the Xantrex UR below the unit or customer 
tinkering. After this observation I placed a supper small dab of 
honey on the last one that I modified. Not certain how well this will 
work but seemed like a good idea at the time. Any other 
recommendations for a light duty, easily removed adhesive is welcome.

Hope all are off to a good start this year, Nick A Lucchese
