When you charge your batteries, do you unplug the motor?
I ran several Auto Pilots, never had a problem, INCLUDING foot pedals. The only one I ever had go bad was hit by lightning in the parking lot in Grand Rapids, MN.
Foot pads need to be tapped clean regularly if you have lots of sand or dust exposure. I used compressed air to clean mine about once a month. They shouldn't be stored in the elements. And, the entire unit should be unplugged before charging batteries or during long idle periods. |
