celestron avx mount Celestron AVX real time clock

[MarkbPlym]

Hello all

I have noticed that when I connect the power tank to the AVX mount using the cable and locknut, the date and time are correct.

However, if I connect my power supply I brought sometime ago, the date and time is reset to 00.00.19 for the time and 03/01/00 for the date.

If I reconnect the power tank with original cable the time still says 00.00.19 for time and 03/01/00 BUT if I change it to the correct date and time it remembers it for next time I switch on using the power tank.

If I go back to using the power supply, it resets the time again to 00.00.19 and 03/01/00!!

Anyone come across this before?

Do you just switch it off or hibernate? If you hibernate it remembers all the star alignment but asks you if the time and date are correct, which normally it is..

Hello, I switch it off after finishing a session.

I guess I will have to remember to enter the date and time when using the power supply.

As already suggested, try hibernate and see what happens . save's a lot of time.  are you setting up on a tripod each time. nine is on a pier.
