A SHORT CIRCUIT COULD OCCUR IN AN INTERNAL COMPONENT OF THE VOLTAGE EQUALIZER WHICH MAY INDUCE MELTING OF THE 24 VOLT INPUT POST. THIS COULD IN TURN CAUSE A 24 VOLT BATTERY CABLE TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE STRUCTURE AND OVERHEAT TO THE POINT OF IGNITING A FIRE IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. CORRECTION: A PROTECTION MODULE WILL BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY ON THE 12 AND 24 VOLT INPUT POSTS OF THE VOLTAGE EQUALIZER.
