Title: AD2K Power options
Post by: tapjunkie on June 07, 2019, 07:44:00 PM

My Tekkeon batteries have decided to stop sending 12 volts to the AD2K.  No matter what I do, it will not power the unit and when it does go to "12" volt, it automatically switched to the lowest voltage.  Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this, or offer another battery option?  Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, I believe there is one or two higher voltages above 12.

Consider looking into the Talentcell 12V batteries on Amazon / eBay.  There are a couple of models, but they supply 12V, some 9V and 5V (USB) as well.

One or more of the individual cells inside your tekkeon battery has bit the dust.  Which tekkeon model is it?  If it's the 3300, those are really simple to refurbish with new 18650 cells and make it as good as or better than new.  If it's the 3450, those are a PITA to refurb.
