Go to Post now now, there is no such thing as reading the manual too much. I read it every night just before I go to bed. - 663.keith [more]

What I am now waiting for is the official fix for this.
What is your wiring like? It sounds like you wired directly to the PDB through a breaker. You should have wired it to the dedicated 12v radio output on the PDB. This will output 12v until the battery gets to 3.5v or so.
