    Maha C9000 dying, anything better out there?

    Can that Dragon do a 'break-in' cycle like the c9000, I think its just multiple refresh cycles. Thats what I'm using now but its a pain because I can only get one cell at a time to work.

    Maha C9000 dying, anything better out there?

    My C9000 has one slot that always thinks there is a battery installed and will only run a creak-in cycle on one slot at a time, it skips the menu when I put in a second battery and goes straight to selecting charge current.

    What's been the most troublesome vehicle you've ever owned and the most reliable one?

    windshield rain repeller, anything better then Rain-X?

    I'm glad someone resurrected this thread because I had the same experience, no matter how well you put it on it wears off in a week or two.
