Greg.
Was using what I have been using for 3 years - a battery pack. There was a low power issue at startup, so I plugged in the charger. I am assuming that the draw with the 3 heater bands on and the mount was too much for the charger coupled to the battery to handle (stupid idea, but I just HAD to image last night. HAD TO!). RA ended up not wanting to cooperate (diagnosis in the Equipment forum).

So, today Jaycar gets a visit - either going for a lab power supply or a good quality AC converter.
