Just wondering...I am finally setting up the backup I got with the pumps. But for the life of me can not figure it out. I dont remember having a seperate power supply for it. And its been so long I wouldnt really remember anyways. I thought you just to the power supply from the wave controller and plugged that into the battery backup. Then connected the out port on the battery to the wave controller. But when I do that it flashes green saying its on battery backup power.

They come with a separate cord and a cord to the controller. The controller power supply is its own. (I have Icecap backup though)

This one is an Icecap as well. Is the controller power supply the same as the battery power supply? I have scoured the internet and cant find anyone selling the power supplys for the battery backups.

It should just be an adapter to the backup. Then a cord from the backup to the controller(small port). The Power supply should go straight to the controller(large port). Ecotech Marine has them online.

Can you take pics of your adapter? Cause mine has 3 ports. 2 Outputs...cause it can support 2 powerheads. And a power input...which I assume is a trickle charge to keep the battery topped off. But I dont think I have the power input cord. All I have for power supplys are the two that go into each powerhead controller. I checked the website and all I could find were the small powercords to hook up each powerhead controller to the battery and then the standard power supplys for the different controllers. Which im not sure if one of those would work...but they have several. I sent an email to them...hopefully I will hear back.

The backup has one in port and two out. the controllers have two in ports. I cant get a pic where mine is at. too many wires.
