At Johnson and Johnson, Firestorm 4 had a similar problem. We had to pull out that voltmeter for inspection, and when the leads touched the chassis and the screen showed 12.6 volts, our whole pit went quiet. We must have spent 25 crazy minutes inspecting the insulation on every wire before finding our problem. What we found was a spot no bigger than a pencil eraser on the negative battery lead that was not fully covered in silicone, which just barely contacted the aluminum frame.
