Jay, 

Funny you should mention this.  A customer just called today to say that his
Mate has been failing to shut down his generator and they have been walking
into a smelly room full of boiling batteries each time.  Is this what you
are referring to when the AGS's are going bad?

I recently replaced an older Mate with this one that has the updated
firmware.

hi Tump,

 

There was a recall of the Flexnets due to them reseting at the end of the
month, could it be that?

 

The main thing I"ve had is the control of the AGS goes bad for some reason.
I have had no luck with "reseting" them, so I just replace them and send the
old ones back for reprograming.

L&Gs (ladies & gentlemen)I have a quad stack OB system w/ flex net DCCA & a
mate 2. The Mate will lose the time & date settings repeatedly within a day
or 2 of resetting it. I'm not on site, so I'm not sure IF all of the other
settings get lost (I think not). 

Question; anybody seen this happening? Mate 2 is June of 08. batteries are
fully charged when DCCA is connected. Any ideas?
