now that I think of it. Make sure your battery is wired correctly
Actually, you might want to check that the colored screws are in the correct place. They're not retained on Black Jaguars, and so it's really easy to accidentally flip them. If you're looking at the FRONT of the Jaguar, then the POSITIVE terminals are nearer than the negative terminals.

If you're looking at the LEFT of the Jaguar (the side with supply power), then you can use the same 'rule' they use for the PD board: Red on the right.
