[RE-wrenches] Battery changing on SW inverter

[Nathan Jones]

Glen,
I am unaware of the backup memory system you spoke of but resetting them after losing the settings is a 3 minute deal. Feel free to call myself or any number of folks on the list probably before you kill the DC and I for one will be glad to walk you through the menu and let you record any pertinent settings that apply to that system. 
Thanks,
