<p>Yes, the 9V is because of the auxiliary power supply that powers
everything inside. Not just the Classic of course. Lots of
voltages and various</p>
<p>power levels required to run these things.</p>
<p>And charcoal inside a Classic refurb ! Hmmm... You can be
sure... There WILL be spankings !</p>

<p dir="ltr">Hi all. I returned to a off grid site today
after having no winter access. It appears as though the
classic 150 charge controller has failed. The batteries
are completely discharged. The classics screen will flash
occasionally as well as a yellow light on this left front
of the controller but wont turn on. Does the classic have
a minimum voltage requirement needed to turn on? Has
anyone else experienced this? I can't figure out what
happened to cause this issue. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks </p>
