The battery hold downs are fine, as they were like that stock. I put a Marine terminal extension on it just for a test, and tightened everything. No more heat, and it’s charging fine right now. When I get more time I think I’ll move the fuse to B- on the controller. But I have it figured out now.

Thanks again guys.

Even me? I cannot describe how flattered I am to be mentioned among these experts. i am honored and will cherish this compliment for decades.

Thank you!
