GRRRRR!

Last night my mount batteries went flat. I've forgotten to put them on charge... sigh.

To make it worse, my back-up set are only about 1/3 charged. They are charging now as they are the most likely to be fit to use. My scope is out cooling, so, let's hope we have a working drive.

Are these batteries for your new EQ5 mount?

The reason I ask is that if its the 6V version i.e,. non goto then the mount will run off 5.2V mobile phone power banks, a lead can be made by chopping off one end of an old USB cable and soldering the black and red wires to a 5.5mm connector....
