Hi guys you have mentioned some good points, especially not to go over the top at the expense of being practical.
I just need something that will be reliable in the field. The last battery I had although I thought it was charged, failed to get the mount moving. Perhaps I should have used a voltmeter to test just how much "juice" it had before starting up.
I was told by a guy in the battery business the a battery powering a Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro could go as low as 7volts. I don't suppose you know if this is true? Thanks for your comments it is appreciated.
