Hi All,
Jumping late to this thread. I was looking for connectors too and like everyone else, couldn't find dimensions online for sizes. I was looking to source the same size connector as the aviation / cb / mic style used on my AZ-EQ6GT. I measured its diameter and came up with 8mm across the black connector but couldn't find a GX8 equivalent. (The specs in the Mount Manual rate indicate the mount draws four amps).
Really appreciated the Jaycar feedback, that's saved me a trip! Did the GX12 connectors come in at the same size as the AZEQ6 in the end and is the 12mm the diameter of the female part?
I've found that the smaller 30Amp Anderson plugs are a bit flaky and a pain in the backside to make (but that could be me with giant sausage fingers) so was looking to swap them over for the screw types.
Not used to power, used to consolidate my camera, filter wheel, autofocuser and USB hub, all of which I have moved up on to the scope area so I only have three cables; power from the mount, power from the group just mentioned and my dew controller (draws too many amps to have run with the other gear so want to keep it separate).
I have
these on my watch list on Fleabay in the hope it might that 12mm will do the trick. EDIT: Just realised these are 4 pin not 2 - hard to source 2 pin from Oz!!
Also, thanks for the advice on the deepcycle batteries. Out of curiosity, how much time do you get? I am thinking of using my deepcycle on my dual battery 4WD when in a remote location rather than lugging another battery so interested in what times people are getting.
