I opened it up, which was super easy as they didn't bolt anything to the cover, and upgrading that to a nice multi-turn external pot will be cakewalk, as it's a single sided PCB. Also with the exception of the control board, everything is big beefy through hole components, so if anything breaks it shouldn't be terribly hard to troubleshoot and repair. Which is good, given how upgrading the voltage adjustment pot will void the warranty.z
I'll check and likely equalize my batteries later this weekend, now that I have the converter and hydrometer.
This is probably my last post in this thread, but I just wanted to update for those interested. I'll post under the "DIY Upgrades" forum once I actually get my setup installed in my TT.
Thanks again for all the suggestions and information!
