I've had a few voltage regulators that would work fine when cold, then malfunction when they got hot.

One or two units that would malfunction in that way, and would start ramming the battery with voltage, IIRC 16V (likely would go higher, I shut them off when I saw the voltage climbing rapidly on the meter  :o )

Not sure how a Shorai would react to that kind of abuse.

The vast majority of the voltage regulator failures are total, they just do nothing at all times.

Issue was that the reg. was done. Charged for 5 minutes and then nothing from that point forward. Installed a new MOSFET and should be good for about 2-3 years. Was also told that batteries dont last like they used to. 3 years instead of 5. Will just be keeping an eye on this moving forward.

Thanks for the help everyone.
