Nicola Hannah Butterfield Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Is it was what supplied, providing your supplying the right voltage, the user will only accept the current that is right, even though the provider promises more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL59 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The synscan will draw more power when slewing than tracking but 2A should suffice. I run mine via a 5A tho and that works well, or a LiPo car starter pack via a 5A buck converted to regulate to 12v. All the wall-wart and brick type PSU's will get warm, quite normal but hot is a different story as that means its too loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Lister Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I measured the current consumption of my mounts. I have used a selection of 12V, 1.5A or 2A plug-top mains supplies with no problems. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
