The amplifier still worked because I could still play my portable satellite radio through it. I don't think that the voltage ever got below 12 that trip, but maybe I'll try the CD player again with a full charged battery. I don't know if there's a way to fix the CD player without buying a new stereo.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253697315470864301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932640390773730695.post-66389686664674616072011-09-04T09:26:35.931-04:002011-09-04T09:26:35.931-04:00That all looks like neatly-done work.

I noticed two things about my latest-generation stereo, similar to yours--one, it hates voltage drop, so if it ever goes kerflooey on you, maybe it's just that particular battery has dropped enough below 12 that it won't run it; and two, it's ridiculously vulnerable to lightning anywhere near it. They're great except that the electronics just aren't very hardy. Unlike a standard VHF which can last forever.Phillip Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227345365302353950noreply@blogger.com
