For this to happen, the current has to be more than 25A. Might this indicate a first-batch problem?

It seems to behave OK on the linear supply.

Sounds like the PS - one of the racers that uses an advantage with a very similar profile (.3 in S2) is using a Novak PS with out a problem. I think the novak is only 10-12amp PS.
