Vixen SkySensor 2000 Poor Alignment Issue

Thank you to everybody who helped me with this and a very special thank you to Matthew who spent a lot of time and brain power on it.
I believe the problem is now resolved. The battery was only part of the problem with a pin point short to the battery casing and the fact that the gears are non standard. Rather than the 36x144 ratio as indicated in the user manual it turns out my gear ratio is 36x288. I have only done some indoor daylight testing this morning but it looks very promising and the scope now slews to all parts of the sky and appears accurate. Fingers crossed for a clear night tonight. I will post on the real time testing as soon as it is complete.

David
