To clarify what concerns me is that while everything seems "fixed" and in order, 2x after the "fixes" a few days ago ... the battery meter has suddenly very rapidly indicated rapid discharge when it...

Good idea ... except that because it is not a user-simple snap-apart system and requires unscrewing numerous bolts and not touching the wrong components ..., I will NEVER remove the battery from this...
