I already had put a new 5R020 in the newer unit where its big 5R025 was, so I will leave that there and see how that goes instead of hauling that out before even trying it. Meanwhile the older unit I was using last time camping with the now a broken (but still working!) 5R020 in it from that episode, will get a new 2R025 to try. Edit-- it is installed, unit works.
I couldn't decide what to do, but seeing that 1R030 in the PD9280 has tipped the scales on which way to go for me. I will have the two 100ampers, one with the 5R020 and the other with a 2R025
Unfortunately they aren't quite the same front end design, so don't know what that might mean, but we can't keep dithering, so that's the Grand Plan. The newer unit has one less emi inductor and some other input differences, so its thermistor might have to do more of the work. So I might have lucked out having the 5R in that one, no idea.
