B. Has anyone else found that the Superbrain is not capable of sustaining the 10 amp discharge rate recommended for cycling? On mine I can start a discharge cycle at 10 amps but the internal temperature regulating software seems to reduce it to about 5.3 amps after a few minutes.
I didn't see this, but I had a second cooling fan duct taped right on the vent area of the unit helping to draw air through it to aid the internal fan, not just blowing at it.
