ASI Mini Power Supply

[BlackNebula (Mark)]

Hi everyone,
Question on power supply for the air. I have been using a 12v dc power cable to a portable power tank and it’s been working great. But, I have just pulled the trigger on a 533mc pro (great deal here in iceinspace) so will be connecting the camera to the air but am a bit worried about the power with the 12v power cable and power tank. Everything points to the power supply being sufficient but should I rather look at a 12v power supply like the Zwo that connects to mains? Just don’t want to mess the air or camera thinking it may not be enough.

As always all great advice is appreciated 👍

Cheers

Look at the specs of your portable power tank, but generally should be plenty. I am using one of the Ecoflow power stations to power AA+ which then powers a cooled ASI camera and dew heaters. Works like a charm.

Yeah, spec are fine, I.e. 12V DC Port, three, 12V/15A ports (180W Max), so I recon I’m fine actually, just want to be sure to be sure!

BTW the EcoFlow is a nice nice unit! Better than my powertech unit, although so far running my mount, asiair, camera (DSLR), dew heater no issues at all, get a full night from it!
