Like I said wires are too short and get nipped if changing controller check the wires are the same colour coding my replacement was different so still didn't work as I connected up same colour for same colour . Pity Alex has not got back to his supplier about shortness of wires I told him of this over a year ago .

The voltmeter does not show anything during charging as it only lights up when the on/off switch is turned on the backpack.
The light on the charger indicates if it is charging - if it is red it is charging - when it turns green then it has charged.
If you click on the technical info tab on the backpack product page it gives you this information.

Oh tx alex...and a quick question if I can..if I select position one with the red button and it does not come on does it indicate that that button needs replacing as well as the variable controller, .? It does come on if I select a position 2 so is it not working in position 1 because the variable controller needs replacing?

To get the voltmeter to work if switching to position 1 then you would also need to turn the flow controller dial to full on and then read the voltmeter.
If the voltmeter does not switch on it will be because of the flow controller - it is very rare for an on/off switch to fail.

What ridic nails!
Have ordered a new controller as well but are you saying the newer controllers have different coloured wires?? And not to splice the same coloured wires together?
May be Alex will jump in?

The replacement flow controllers should have exactly the same colour wires as in your backpack.

Always have been in my recollection of supplying and fitting them for V3 backpacks :1f603:
Can I use that same little blue splice connector or do I need a different time?

First thing to check is that the blue connectors have actually made a good connection through the wire insulation on each wire.
When there is an issue - I have often found that these connectors fail to puncture through the outer sheath fully.
