Received info from Kevin Strong and he uses 14.8 volts with his battery powered loco.

Thanks all who gave of their expertise and time.

The Climax is a PNP loco and I do not plan to run the engine with Track Power.  I am running it with a 14.8 volt Lith-Ion battery.  My concern is the amount of voltage to pins 6 & 7.  I do know enough to keep polarity proper (battery + to pad +.)  Just my concern is amount of voltage being applied to the two pad connections.

Thanks for 'chiming in.'

Loco Bill seems to be able to lend good information on most issues brought up on this forum.  I wonder if he might be able to 'chime in' on this issue.  My concerns in jumpering the battery voltage to J1  pins 6 & 7 is the amount of Voltage.  I am using a 14.8 volt battery.  Will that cause magic smoke?  Hate to 'burn up' the Bach board and/or the Revolution Rx with the wrong voltage or connections.

The topic says it all.  I have installed the Revolution Rx with sound in a Climax using battery power.  However the lights and firebox flicker do not work.  I know there is a way to do this, but am too concerned I'll generate 'magic smoke' to go poking around without some sound guidance.  Does anyone have a diagram or pictures or simple directions to follow in order to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

  Thanks very much Ed.  That was also what I thought...a slimmer battery than the 4 or 5 amp size.    Bob 

A friend wants to run his C 19 with battery power.  What battery should he use, that will fit in the C 19 Tender?
