Mains power to mount

[bcfcciderhead]

I now have mains power to my obsy so I'm looking to power the eq5 pro mount, I would like to keep using the 12v cigarette cable that I have been using with my power tank, only because its all set up and put in ducting.

So what I was thinking is a mains power supply to 12v, believe maplins do them but unsure if they are suitable,.

If anyone can confirm what I need and suitability I would be grateful

I use one of these (mostly for dew bands nowadays) but I have powered each of my mounts off it too - never had a problem with it.

+1 for these too, excellent, never had a problem........no more worrying if the power tank is gonna go flat.

I use http://www.maplin.co.uk/13.8v-regulated-mains-power-units-231

and http://www.maplin.co.uk/4-way-cigarette-socket-adaptor-42895

to power mount, dew band, filter wheel and camera.

Thanks for a quick reply guys.

seen these but some of the reviews put me of, but if you have been using it for astro use with no problems then that good enough for me
