Fred, If I understand properly, you still have the float battery connected. Try removing it and see if the power supply turns on.
If that power supply has undervoltage protection, a discharged battery across its terminals will create an undervoltage situation and the power supply will shut down immediately. If that is the case, charge the battery from another supply before re-connecting it. I do hope your gel cell recovers, especially if it is a costly large one, but there is a chance that the low terminal voltage has significantly reduced its life and charge capacity. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I power my K2/100 with a Yaesu FP-1030A that also powers the FT-847. > Normally, it is on all the time.
