Power cable for SkyWatcher dual EQ drives

[trevboyd]

I have a set of SkyWatcher drives attached to my CG-5. They need a 6v DC power supply. My Celestron power tank has a 6v output, but it doesn't use a cigarette lighter socket. I don't know what the proper name for it is, it's a standard power socket with a +v tip and -ve outer sheath (like you get on all kinds of electronic devices - does it have a proper name?). It's the same socket as is on the drives - any idea where I can get a cable with one of those at each end?

Thanks!

I'd make one - maplin will do the bits needed for a pound or two.

Maybe Astronomiser can make you one?

Thanks Ant - I'll go to Maplin.

You need a 2.1mm DC jack. The 2.1mm is the centre pin size. I have these on my powetank and this is te correct size.
