Any Way to Pre-empt FRM Failure?

JFG_90 · 08-17-2022, 12:28 PM

Just learning about FRM failures being common and I'm wondering if anything can be done to avoid it.

In particular, can the online services that rebuild FRMs replace any failure-prone component on the FRM in advance to avoid failure?

I'm not sure if it's related, but I do not ever jump my car with cables. I know it's not realistic for everyone, but I'll put the charger on it and let it sit and make it start on it's own power. I've noticed people with issues after jumping the car, maybe related maybe not, but modules that are fickle on voltage I'm not giving them a mess of power.

Weak/dieing battery causes electrical problems.

If it's strong AGM one then no worries.
