Another Bird fire

[ronmarabito2002]

The house battery bank, that is on two slideout trays. These cables go to a
terminal block on the frame right behind them. It is possible that the cables
can be compromised when the batteries are moved back into position. The cables
have extra length to allow you to slide the trays into an open position.

I haven't done mine yet, but I would suggest splitting a water hose and slipping
it around the battery cables to prevent them from chafing together or rubbing on
the frame.

shame. I sure hope everyone gets out there and checks these cables now.

want to check the routing of these cables.
