    MEP 002a Battery and Start Up Questions

    Thank you, Isaac, for the advice. Hopefully we can get this figured out and keep everything in working order! I believe he said the switch is just broken, but for now that's not a big deal. If we ever get to the point where we need it, we will see if we can get it to work. Do you plug the...
