Is it possible to have a dead short in the controller?

For now I'm crossing my fingers, putting the Controller on insulated mounts, and going in search of the other smaller voltage. Golf is too much sitting and waiting. I want music!

The controller needs to be mounted to the aluminum plate to dissipate the heat that builds up. It will over heat and not last very long otherwise.
You could insulate a plate to mount it to but it needs a heatsink.
