M21/M22/A11: These DSMs were now all powered through a Lambda brick power supply (6.5A rating, adjusted to 13.6V no load) through an old MorningStar. The Lambda was running VERY hot (too hot to touch after 1/2 second), even before we added A11. Got a call this morning from Kurt/John/Chris recommending that we remove the charge controllers from all AC-powered stations. Used wire nuts to connect input/battery/load wires together. Adjusted Lambda down to 12.8V, as per instructions. Blew breaker on M21 DSM during its boot sequence. Moved M22's power from M21 Aux to another head of the Y cable. (Now the Y splitter is directly connected to power cables to each of M21, M22, and A11.) This all appears to work and the Lamba brick is now cool.
