Case of RTFM.... 😄

The motor drive requires 4 'D' cell batteries (not included) to operate. A set of batteries will allow several nights of observing. The LED light is green under normal operation. The LED begins to flash in the case of imminent battery failure.

These controllers dont work very well if you are using rechargeable batteries, the voltage from rechargeables will only be 4.8V (4 X 1.2V) which is borderline and made worse if its cold outside. The good news is that I have found that these controllers will run quite happily from a mobile phone power bank which supplies a constant 5.2 V, all you need is an old USB cable with one end chopped off and a suitable connector fitted..
