Mount - Cooler

Hi Simon.
The 2 PC power supplies I tried were just 2 odd ones I had lying around.
The new battery I am using is an 45 AH 10 hours from Aussie Batteries.
Yes, it is a little curious, is it not?
All the power goes through a junction box I made up, that sits on the tripod post.
Having read your response I went out this morning and, by-passing the junction box, I connected both the mount and the cooler straight to the battery, and it worked just fine. I even tested the slewing also. No problem at all.
So, i shall have my friend, an electronics engineer have a look at the wiring on my setup.
Your comments are much appreciated.
Ken
