Will SW EQ-5 Enhanced Dual Drives Run on 5V?!

[robbymain]

Hello all

Just in case anyone has tried this, do the Skywatcher EQ-5 dual axis drives work properly on 5V delivered via a USB battery? It's designed for 6V using 4 D cells....

All the best,

I cant say for sure but the single axis drive certainly does work with a USB power bank, remember that 4 rechargeable D cells will only give 4,8V anyway and most power banks output 5.2V.

I use a 10AH one and will run the mount for weeks..
