Hi Folks.
I have a 'powertec' power supply unit,its a very elite DC unit from mains power.
It has 0-24 volts,and up to 3 amps,it has digital displays and fine and course settings,it can power 2 items at once-it has individual settings and display for each item.it cost me $400,I used it power antique train set.
But no longer use it for that,I am wondering could I use this for my goto mount and dew heater as my batteries die in the observatory-leaving them in cold is one of the best ways to shorten their lives-so I am told.
If I put this power supply unit in a cupboard in observatory,and set voltage to 12 volts DC,and put cables under carpet to goto and dew heater,It should be fine?
Is there any cavets here?,the cable to goto has a fuse in it.I will try and post a pic of this unit,its vVERY heavy,and I would never be able to sell it.
So hopping to use it in another hobby like astronomy.
Any advice would be great thank you.
