[RE-wrenches] Over voltage error message

Mon Jul 17 07:06:01 PDT 2017

I think you are going to have to prove that it is real by logging with an
external device. A short pulse like this will not hurt the AGM but I would
definitely be looking to avoid this getting worse. A Flooded battery would
not concern me. Have you looked at the Midnite site for any input?  Good
Luck!  --Dave
