Would an in-line fuseable link have kept this from happening (reverse polarity) and damaging both units? Its not a power surge so not sure it would have helped.
I saw one of the Helix units that a customer had. Nice little unit for the money.

Reverse polarity should not have fried that bird. Something else going on there I think.
