Imagine how pissed a customer would be trying to peel that crap off after a
few years getting baked in the sun.
I am sure the module manus would love to disqualify any warranty claims that
came back with this stuff on it.
Also, they claim a 4-12.5% increase.

Happened to us once too with a Surette S-530. Now that "free" battery sits
in my home's bank with some sharpie + and - symbols on it. Easy to see how
the symmetrical cap could be placed on backwards. Seems a keyed notch on
the cap would prevent that. . .

asked them if they had any in the works. Most just kept pointing to their
