Okay, fair enough.

Vishal, you should be able to combine the current version with the
suggestion from Boris.

1) Move the zn v2 flag to the top of the 1Ah case.
2) Add 'failure' for the default case.
3) Leave the 40h model group and add the new group with it. Basically,
there will be two model ranges sharing the 'empty' case.
4) Update the commit message with the new details. Make sure to describe
'why' rather than 'what'.

Thanks,
Yazen
