Thanks a lot guys! My battery is 6 amps, so it'll probably run for a while. All this makes me wonder why one of the power boards I got from Tibia doesn't work. I should probably test it a bit more.

Check the polarity of the board with a multimeter. Sometimes they are switched.

From what I've read, the power board isn't what has switched polarities, it's just that the red and black wires are switched. I checked this. Someone probably hooked it up wrong and fried it. Oh well, I still have two working ones.
