Just one detail: can you elaberate on the word "munged" please?
Also just to add to this post topic. I have never seen this behavier from my CC. When my Alkas run low, the CC warns me with a red "LOW BATTERY" warning text at the bottom right portion of the CC, giving me time to change out before a complete shutdown.

That's interesting -- I've never seen a "low battery" warning, even when intentionally running the batteries down. Didn't even know the system had that capability.
About the munged light setting:
While testing things, I went through a cycle of refreshing my light settings repeatedly using the right joystick. This is clearly not something you'd normally do, but it seemed like a good way of placing a drain on the batteries. After doing this approximately 10-15 times, I started noticing that the bar for one light in particular showed red every time I tried to refresh. I believe this indicates that the light in question didn't respond properly to the attempted communication, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
I checked the light settings for that light as defined in the CC, and noticed that MODEL MODE had somehow changed to OFF (the actual model light was on, despite this). I tried to change the setting, but it wouldn't move away from "OFF". On a hunch, I then checked the light specification for that channel. Sure enough, it was now showing AB400 instead of what it was originally defined as (AB800). I reset the light specs to their appropriate definitions, then went back to check the light settings. Apparently changing the light spec cleared out the other settings as well, and I was now able to set the model mode to TRACK, which is what I normally use. Went back to the main screen, then started refreshing again.
Refreshing worked as expected at that point, at least until the CC rebooted several attempts after that as the voltage level dropped.
