EQ6-R power issues
G'day guys
I seem to be having issues with my EQ6-r while slewing. It seems like it's getting slew errors causing the motors to stop slewing and whine due to presumably lack of voltage. On fast slew, voltage (according to HC) is dropping to 11V when running on the battery. I'm using a freshly charged 120ah deep cycle (intended for travel), and a regulated 12v 7.5A power supply at home. This happens on both power sources but the battery is noticeably worse, completely unusable actually.
Last imaging session the mount was run on the regulated power supply, and the camera cooler and dew heaters ran on the battery, without a single issue. The minimum voltage the mount received was around 12 volts during a slew. I typically run everything on the regulated power supply at home and occasionally still get this stalling issue.
Would having the mount plugged into a cigarette plug splitter to run all my accessories potentially be an issue, or is my problem likely elsewhere?
