Power module

[Adam Maplesden]

Hi everyone I'm having trouble with the red power module in my hetzer and Elefant, my Elefant has been running but I turned it on today and I have got no power at all , not even the voltage display is lighting up, I have made sure that the batteries are fully charged and still no power also I'm putting the electrics in my hetzer and that is exactly the same not power but fully charged batteries and I have wired it exactly to the manual and I have double checked it. Please help.

... if it was me, I would have simply forgot to connect one of the thousands XT60 connectors ... or bridging the two batteries ... or something else!

Did you check the fuses ??

Cheers, Andre

Do you have a volt meter? The wiring for the power switch is quite simple to follow.

With the negative lead of a voltmeter on the negative of the battery:

1) Do you get 24V at the positive of the battery ?

2) Do you get 24V at the input side of the relay (the red wire between the battery and the relay) ?

3) If you turn the switch on and off, do you hear/feel the relay operating ?

4) With the switch on, do you get 24V at the output side of the relay, so the red wire between the relay and the power module.

Adrian.
