Hmm. . . I think I know this Pelican Member. . . that seems to be about the same as the upgrade price, perhaps V1's "upgrade" consists of recycling the old circuit board and shipping a new production unit? Probably, I saw a new one on the windshield of a car yesterday and it was a lot thinner than the old one.

I would check immediately your system voltage, that's the only thing I can possibly think of-- and the internally regulated alternators on the 82SC (first year for the internal reg) are notorious for a failure mode that sends the voltage to 17 volts. Given your background you probably keep a close watch on that but it could be an issue even though I'm sure the V1 has internal overvoltage protection.

Send me a PM if you wish to discuss offline, sorry to hear of your misfortune.
