Pump controller broken

[cameron12422]

Hi all, I accidently connected my controller and pump to a car battery, in which I believe it has blown the controller as the pump still works bit the controller seems dead. Ant idea how to fix this. Thanks

I think the cheapest option is to buy another controller you might be able to get it repaired but doubt it’s cost effective @Ian Sheppard might be able to offer advice as he ownes the main company that make them

Connecting it to your car battery won't damage the controller. If you have an old V11 and connected it incorrectly (reversed polarity) then you will have damaged it. First of all, check the fuse.

I assumed he had connected it the wrong way round ( reversed polarity ) ?

Don't know what type of controller you're using but I use a simple 20amp pwm controller on my trolley.
A few weeks back I was doing some maintenance and when I put it all back together I accidently connected it back up with the poles reversed. Thought I'd destroyed the controller, it being a cheap jobbie. But thankfully it just blew the 7.5amp fuse in the main feed from the battery. It's been fine since replacing the fuse.

The spec of the V16 is certainly a big step up from the V11 with accidental reverse polarity protection and on/off switch pad.
