Need a power cable for my new 6v drives?

[Rob]

Can you help.. just took delivery of my new Skywatcher dual drives for my EQ5 which are 6v DC. I had 12v DC drives before and powered them direct from my power tank.

Now I had 4 d cell rechargeable battery's I left on charge all day yesterday (not been used for 12 months). I'm already getting a flashing green light on the controller!!

Is there a 6v cable available to buy?.. I'd like to use the power tank really.

Its all gone wrong since my new scope turned up!!.. need to get sorted and enjoy it!

Thanks

Try Astrodevelopments. They make a regulated psu for EQ3-2/EQ5 drives that is powered from a rechargeable 12v source.

I got a 6V voltage regulator IC chip which allows conversion from 12V to 6V and wired it into the 12V cigar plug!

Worked very well!!!
