Hey everyone!

I wanted to share an expensive lesson with everyone in the hopes that it might save someone the trouble I’m now dealing with.

I decided to run my gbfans battery pack down so I could fully recharge it so I turned on my [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) and left it running overnight. After charging the battery, I discovered that I no longer have sound and lights. Apparently, leaving the amplification board running will eventually burn it out. I asked some of my gb friends if they had experienced this and they confirmed that they’ve had the same thing happen. You’d think that gbfans would put a warning in the instructions about prolonged/continuous use but I didn’t find any mention of it. Anyway, just wanted to share.
