Do not increase it beyond 15V. It means what it says.
Also note that with little or no load (eg when the mount is tracking) most power supplies produce rather more volts - it’s not uncommon to see 13...15V from devices nominally rated to produce 12V.
As one with an AZEQ6, when it’s slewing on both axes it can draw rather more than 2A briefly - I measured 4A. The little DC wall-wart shipped with it is inadequate and can’t supply that - the output voltage dropped below 10V and the result is the motors stall.
The solution is a dc power source that can supply a current such as 4A without dropping the voltage significantly. One way is a 12V 4A power brick. Another easy solution is an SLA battery, capable of large currents for short periods. One with 9 or 12 amp-hours capacity is plenty.
