Where do I plug the Male battery lead in?? It says into the printed circuit board, but I see nowhere to plug it in! Please HELP!

I believe it is on the right side, I had no trouble seeing it, but I have heard about others having a hard time finding it. Keep lookng around the circuit board, it is there!!

I seem to remember that you have to remove an additional plastic cover and the two prongs are there.

See if there is a plastic tab that is preventing he battery from making contact. If it has one you may have to pull it out. If it's not that then it's just because the unit is likely defective. It's a super cheaply made unit.

I couldn't figure it out either. The instruction sheet is hidden between the paperboard insert in the packaging. The gridded panel on the underside slides over and comes off revealing the battery covers.

Hi I hope this helps. Take the back off. Looking at the "board" this "screen cord" plugs into the "board" on the left side at the bottom. circuit board on left and battery will be on right.

Flip the metal piece out, you'll see a panel you can remove to reveal the battery. I think there is some kind of plastic thing to keep the battery from draining prior to first time use. Just pull that thing out, replace the panel and you're good to go.

Sorry to hear that!.. I thought it was very easy to install and my battery was fully charged and it worked fine. Make sure it's hooked to the battery correctly and the battery is charged. If not it might be defective :(

Get an externle battry from EasyACC male sure its tells you it is for your device the battery in your device is a little to big for the smaller 3v off the panels its what I had to do brighT side is now I have a back up win the power is down for a while I hope this helps

no place to plug in. But I noticed something on mine while looking for a jack. On the back at the top is a little flip out with a hole in it, that can be used to hang the timer on a nail or hook. And I find I have lost my instruction sheet. Dang

If you mean how to wire it... I looked at the X1 manual. It looks like the battery for the X1 does not have wire leads hanging off the battery. With the Blade mqx battery there is a connector hanging from the battery. Instead of plugging it into the mqx, you plug the battery into the lites, then the lead from the lites plugs into the mqx. Your battery looks different (no lead wires). Here is the mqx battery - E-Flite 500mAh 1-Cell 3.7V 12C Li-Po: 120SR EFLB5001S25 If you have no leads on the battery - you could follow the battery power to the circuit board and solder the leads from the lites to the plus and minus points on the circuit board.

I would charge the battery first. I believe those are the instructions anyway. In fact, I believe there are specific charging procedures initially to get the best life out of the battery. If you continue to experience issues, I would contact the vendor/manufacturer.

Yeah I do think the connector is a little too small to connect to the battery. I just spliced a new connector that was large enough to fit around the battery terminal. If you do not have any you can buy them at Walmart for a few dollars.

This is just an LED strip with a +/- lead on it. You should probably wire through a fused circuit that gets power when you want it to. Some 12V accessories have power all of the time, some with key, etc... I have mine wired through the interior lights circuit so they come on with them. I made sure it was a fused circuit because I had one of these short out and melt wires.

When you say you plugged it in, does this mean you wired it to the battery? Or did you plug the charging connector to the connector on your battery, or did you wire it and plug something into it? If 1. you wired it to the battery, you wired the positive connection to ground. As soon as you turned it on you completed the circuit and burned the smallest wire. 2. You plugged the charging connector to opposite connections and you got positive wired to ground. 3. The item you plugged into the unit has a direct short from positive to ground and you burned that item out. Follow the instructions very carefully. Connect the red lead to the positive + side of the battery. Connect the black lead to the negative - side of the battery. Replace the fuse that burned out, and plug the connector into the wiring harness. If you wired it correctly, it should have power all the time, whether or not the key is turned on. You turn the unit on and off via the switch installed in the unit.

You plug it in. However, mine didn't last very long & just didn't work anymore. So, just threw it away. Hope yours works better!

Black goes to the neg batt terminal or ground. Connect the brown wire to the lead from your dash switch and to one lead from your float. The other lead from your float connects to the positive terminal on your battery

Hi Shard, my initial assumption is that you do not have the connectors in the right place. The batteries are connected in series i.e. mine are 6volt batteries and I have 6 of them for a total of 36v. So the positive connector has to be on the 1st batteries positive terminal and the negative connector has to be on the negative terminal of the last battery. If you have it hooked up that way, one of the batteries might be bad. Bill

My Viefly 331 came with the red battery lead unconnected. It was obvious where it had been connected. I soldered it back on, but when I was putting it back together the black wire came loose. I soldered that on and it's been working ever since.
