The only way to protect the CC is to put in insiode a faraday cage before the EMP hits, so what I'm saying is you will need spares of a really primative electromechanical type device if such a thing exists.

I GUESS you'll be OK in a geomagnetiv / solar storm..... This is worth researching.

Full- on EMP as in Man Made, offensive wepon deplyment will take out both te cells and the controller depending on how close they are to the initial blast.
