Welcome to the forum David. You don't need to put your question as the thread title - just "Satlook G2 Battery Problem" or similar would do.

@Davids installation : are you sure that that your external power supply is supplying the correct DC voltage (I assume as that's normal) AND with the correct polarity - IF the polarity is incorrect then, probably, the circuit in the meter (probably has a "blocking diode" that prevents a incorrect "polarity" supply - i.e. the +Ve & -Ve connections are reversed ) will block a supply of the "wrong polarity" entering and powering the sat meter. Check that with an electrical test meter if you have access to one.

Edited: clarification - for most equipment, the short centre contact of the plug on the power supply cable is normally "+Ve" and the longer outer contact is normally "-Ve".
