Power Supply?

Can you advise the specs (Output Voltage & Max current) of the 3 power supplies you tried? Or pictures of the makers impu/output rating label on the devices.

These mounts are somewhat marginal at a power supply voltage of 12Volts and many suggest their use at higher voltages, typically 13-14Volts. I believe even the manufacturer's spec includes such a range. I will check and repost a reference.

EDIT: I just checked and Skywatcher specifies 12 to 16 Volts DC 3A, see red circled spec in pic below...

EDIT2: I also found a Skywatcher USA site that specified it as 11 to 15 Volts DC 2A (so they're not even consistent ??)
