Re: Prism Topaz - Analog Secondary & Cell Sensors

I carry mine in a small Pelican box with foam around it.
Just want to make sure of something here. While it's in it's small pelican box, it is still connected to the Prism head isn't it? I assume you know this, but if it's not connected, there is no load on it...

SMI short out a couple of pins on the secondary when it's disconnected from the head and transport it that way (not that I can remember which pins off hand)

As for worrying about aging one cell more than the others; don't worry about it. I've tracked voltage on the cells over time and cell 2 hasn't fallen faster than the others. (And if you still wnt to worry about it, just swap cells from position to position every 3 months or so, then they will degrade 'evenly')
