I have some time over xmas to tinker...

While my lx90 works just fine with a 12v Sealed lead acid battery,
the cabling offends my sensibilities so......

i have some 26650 Lipo batteries doing nothing that
just happen to fit in the stock battery housing on the mount.

The Lx90 has two battery compartments allowing for 4 C cells each,
nominally requiring a 6 Volt input...which will vary depending on battery condition..

2 Lipos each side will supply of them produce way too many volts and could potentially
damage the motors(?), so i'm planning to incoporate a 6v regulator on each of the 2
battery packs.

Does anybody know whether the mount expects a 'proper' 6+6=12v,
or if i should set it just a little bit higher?

I ask this, as even the old SLA sits at about 13 volts most of the time...
just not sure how voltage change affects performance on this mount...
