[RE-wrenches] Fried Classic150?

[bob at midnitesolar.com]

Uh OH !!  Not good !

The Classic will turn on at around 9 volts DC input and will continue to

run down to something around 4.5 volts input.

So, maybe the batteries aren't "zero" volts at least.

You can wait until tomorrow to call in OR go to the www.midnitesolar.com 
web site

and start an on-line technical support request or, better... both.
