Quick follow-up:

BK did warranty my 9920 with no fighting necessary. Irene Becker handled the claim. I got it back one day shy of two months. That's a long time, but a lot better than the 6 months I had heard about in the past.

The funny part is that I had forgotten about it by the time it arrived on my doorstep. I guess I had mentally written it off, so it was a fun surprise to have it back.

ObOnTopic: I'm running one of those "selloff" 9920's with 18 cells. I pulled the red wire on mine, (see above problem) and I've had no problem. I know I've run it past 25v, wasn't thinking about full pack charge voltage. I don't know what a fully charged a123 is, but I think you should still be under the max voltage.

the black jumper is near the red programming jumper, but further back under the shrink wrap.

Thats great news! I have several runs on mine now and it's still working fine. (knock on wood) I haven't been pushing it real hard though, only pulling 66 amp spikes with my current setup.
