Howdy all!
I've bitten the bullet and decided to upgrade my mount to an EQ6 Pro as Andrews Comm has them out for $1499 still, while Bintel and York are $1995 and locally here are $2700. I was told today when I ordered the mount that there is no plug in the wall power supply, you hafta use the power tank rechargeable power supply. It was referred to me that if I use a 240v ac to 12v dc power supply, I will blow it up. Whats the difference between a power tank at 12 volts and a plug in power supply regulated to 12v 3amp dc, for example, and what would be the reason I would blow it up, except for the obvious connector the wrong way around or excess voltage etc. I thought I had seen that the EQ6 Pro was rated at 11.5 to 14.4 volts (standard 12v system figures, I'm a mechanic)and if you had a power supply at say 5 amps, the unit only draws from the power unit what it needs, the extra amperage is just to cover it for slewing draw.
I also thought that I had seen somewhere in the forums here that some of you guys had ordered and use a plug in type supply. Need some feedback please!
