If S1 is not covered by insurance (what happened to me) you can by a portable battery for the S2 on amazon. I use it for my S2 and it works great , haven’t had to charge it the last two days and I pump 6 times a day.

Searching around leads me to believe that the lighthouses won't draw much more than 1A@12V, but likely draw closer to 0.5A@12V most of the time. This decently reviewed, 6000mAh@12V battery on Amazon will get you probably about twelve hours of battery life.
This is the battery I use, with my previous unit I got a few day trips out of it and with this unit I get almost two days: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NBSH8D5N7Z042R3Z6FF0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I’m selling my Striker Plus 4 if you’re interested in that model.
I use something like this - definitely was cheaper when I bought it. But it works for along time. However it is rather large.

Pick one of these up. Fits pretty nicely and lasts forever between charges compared to the m12 batteries (the ones that fit nicely in the jacket anyway). It’s not the best for sitting with it in the jacket, but now the worst either.

I have both the S2 and the S9! I got the S2 with my insurance and then decided to buy the S9 on my own for pumping outside of home. I pumped with only S2 for 3 months before getting the S9 and didn’t notice any difference in output between the two. The only thing the S9 does not have us the cycle setting. Now the S2 does not have a built in battery, but thanks to this sub, I learned you can buy this rechargeable battery pack from Amazon and Velcro it to the bottom of your S2. This battery is amazing and I only have to recharge it every few weeks! So even if you go with S2 you have the option to make it wireless.
Another vote for TalentCell batteries, except I use a slightly different model: TalentCell Rechargeable 12V 6000mAH/5V 12000mAh
I have two in my kit, one to use and one for backup, but they have been rock solid for me. I've never once had to switch out the battery pack for my second one, even on 14+ hour days with the recorder (I use a Zoom F4, so the F8n might suck a little more juice in your case) on the entire day, even through lunch.
Hard to beat for the price, I just use a hirose-to-DV power cable I bought on Amazon to connect it.
Ditch the m12 battery and go with a TalentCell flat pack from Amazon. It’ll last longer and is compatible with the jackets. The flat battery pack also is more comfortable for working. Just plug the jacket straight to it without the m12 adapter. I went with this one.

Hey sorry for the slow reply - do you mean how to make the plugged spectra gold into a portable? I just bought a battery pack on Amazon that is widely recommended in pumping world. It comes with the connector and you just have to make sure to charge the battery pack now and then. I didn’t find a great way to attach it to the pump — I just carried them around together— but I know some people use adhesive Velcro strips. Here’s the battery pack:
TalentCell Rechargeable 12V... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This battery will work a lot better in the heated gear, last longer and isn’t as bulky feeling in the pocket.
My bad, just noticed this now.
Here's a link.
You can charge it off any standard 12vdc barrel plug connector. If you have a box of power supplies, you almost certainly have a 12vdc one. Just make sure it has between 2-3aml output otherwise it will take an entire night to charge if less than 2amp.
Let me know if you have any questions. The M12 jacket can plug directly into this back, and it fits perfectly into the back battery pouch, and allows you to lean back and not have it stuffed up into your back as well.
Cheers!
Got a Talentcell 12v battery on Amazon for about $60CAD. Runs for around 5-6 hours with both heat zones on the Toughshell on high. Fits quite nicely in the jacket's battery pocket as well.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00ME3ZH7C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This is all you need. Will run a heated jacket for my 12 hour shifts.
These batteries work a treat for the jacket. One will last me a 12 hour shift on low/medium. Also not as bulky as the Milwaukee battery and adapter.
Reach out to a local astronomy club as they may have someone who knows how to repair it.
Also consider reaching out to Celestron to see if it is covered under a warranty. Unlikely because I doubt they will cover the repair/replacement costs of something you did to the scope.
And finally, if you do get out repaired. Consider running the scope off this battery. I used heavy duty Velcro to mount it to the side of the mount arm.
Look into getting this battery. Using AAs is not a realistic path forward.
TalentCell Rechargeable 12V is the standard for the kits that they put out for lights. Most light kits are 12volt so you need that voltage to run the light. Mah is the amount of power stored to run time. You want something like this or bigger in the mah range.
I went from the jacket and also have the hoodie. I use the hoodie more than the jacket as the jacket nylon exterior is a bit heavy and stiff. The hoodie is nice and you can get away with up to 25 ish weather on full as long as there is no gusty wind. If there is any wind the heat will be lost immediately. Also the jacket has a belly heater while the hoodie is just the chest and back.
Also the front light is annoying as people always ask, your jacket/hoodie is glowing and or envy as people who know always ask how it is.
You want to get the battery from amazon that is bigger but fits better than an m12 battery
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
this will run for 5-8 hours on full. also you need to layer up for cold cold days, still.
Home depot and such will stock them coming in September. Black Friday is usually when I get it because its cheaper and its not cold cold where I live at that time.
Here’s a cheap battery I use for QRP it puts out 12V and 5v. I made some power cords for it with powerpoles. Powers all my QRP radios. Comes in different sizes too. TalentCell Rechargeable 12V... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I would skip the 40mm, it won’t give you any more FOV than a 32mm plossl. Without a focal reducer or 2” diagonal, you max true FOV is about 0.8°
I would suggest spending that money on a 2” diagonal or focal reducer.
And instead of the barlow, I would say get an EP in the 28-18mm range. For general purpose DSO usage.
And I always recommend getting this battery. It can be attached to the mount arm with heavy duty Velcro.
The celestron dew shield won’t hell much if you have anything more that almost no humidity. You will really want a heated dew shield. They are not cheap, but I would say that a heated dew shield is the most important accessory for an 8SE if you have humidity.
And finally, a Telrad is much better than the red dot finder that comes with the scope.
I only used it for day trips out of town and never really ran it all the way down between recharges.
This is the one I got- was recommended to me by this sub, and has lots of reviews by spectra users. I just got some industrial strength velcro and attached it to the bottom.
It's great, the charge lasts for several days, even pumping 6-7 times at 30-40min each.

That is not a bad price. Of the accessories only the zoom eyepiece is the real selling point. If it were me I would try and offer less and see what they say.
You will need to buy additional accessories like a dew heater and controller (the dew shield listed only delays the formation of dew), a better power source, and maybe a Telrad (I prefer this over the supplied red dot finder).
Actually, unrelated follow up question for you since I see your tag as an RCBS ambassador. Do you know the battery requirements to use a CM Link on external battery power? I picked up this battery based on someone’s recommendation, but haven’t used it yet until I confirm I won’t burn out my favorite tool (all the electrical specs seem to match, but me and electronics don’t mix well).
TalentCell Rechargeable 12V 6000mAh/5V 12000mAh DC Output Lithium ion Battery Pack for LED Strip and CCTV Camera, Portable Li-ion Power Bank with Charger, Black
I’m using the 3s2p 18650 pack taken from a power bank. It used to be available at a much better price lol. Given 2hr 10W SSB operation time I’m happy with it.
I’m modding a old van for VHF contest rover. That means 2* 29DC battery on board. Can hardly wait for the contest season!

Run a small battery backup in line from the main battery. Something that can run the dashcam for a few days before it even touches the car battery.
I use this one in my truck, and run switched power to it so that it only charges when the truck is on. I haven't had any issues with it going dead OR draining my battery. https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
That's great to know! So I should think something like this would work? As for battery consumption, do you think it would last over 4 hours?
This is the battery bank I used
TalentCell Rechargeable 12V... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It has a 12 volt 2 amp output through a standard DC barrel jack. Right now I just have the headlights wired straight to a barrel Jack connector and plugged into the battery, and use the switch on the battery to turn the lights on/off.
Once I get my relays in, I’ll wire those to the handlebar switches to control the turn signals as well.
These are what a lot of people, myself included, use with the Nexstar scopes. Will run it all night and you never have to use the aa batteries again. Stick it to the side with a bit of velcro and you're good to go.
My pump isn't portable either so I bought this battery to fix it. No outlet needed and it lasts for quite a few pumps.
I haven't had to pump at work yet so the rest of it I am still figuring out too.
I use this one for my spectra S2! I’ve seen others use this too or similar I hope the link works, never done a link on Reddit before!

Another option, although slightly bulkier, is to get a battery pack.
I didn't have the option to get the S1 so I got the S2 with that battery pack. I haven't had to go back to work yet but the portability has already been a must have for me. I have a tendency to pump while in the car going to family things with my husband driving. It gives me relief and we have a quick way to feed the baby right when we get there so I don't have to worry about finding a spot to feed a crying baby. It is very convenient in the newborn phase when they are on their own schedule with everything but you need to be somewhere at a certain time.
I use something very similar to this for my DSL WiFi gateway and it keeps me going for hours during an outage. I've never had a commercial outage last more than an hour, but I've tested it to last at least six hours by unplugging AC from the device.
As I mentioned, I will be stripping the insides of my spare AppleTV 4K (Model A1842), keeping the logic board & discarding everything else, including the AppleTV’s power supply. The specs say that supplied power is 12 volts @ 1.083 Amps, which I am planning to substitute by using a TalentCell rechargeable Lithium-Ion 12v battery pack so I can use it as a portable casting device. The HDMI port would be plugged into with any TV or projector that would have an HDMI input.

I got this and then strapped it onto the bottom of the pump. You have to be careful and make sure you get the right voltage to be compatible with your pump. This worked perfectly for my S2! Also - it wasn’t as expensive as it is now. If I would have known ahead of time I was going to pump as much as I did, I would have gotten the S1. I just had no clue our breastfeeding journey would have been as challenging as it was.
I bought it off Amazon! Here’s the link:

You continuously charge a battery while also running the radio off the DC power of the battery.
The battery will smooth out the power delivery.
I use one of these to run the KX3, works great in the field too, and cheap with power splitter built right in:

The battery pack rocks. I’ve yet to drain it during a smoke. I had a power outage once before I had the battery pack and I had to pull my server UPS to keep my cook going until power was restored. Can also be used to charge your mobile phones multiple times before recharging the pack.

It’s here if you’re in the US, at least! I’ve got 3 months to go so I can’t speak to it myself, but if you just search “spectra” in the reviews it’s full of people who rave about it. I plan to just Velcro it to my pump so it can be removed or put back on as needed!
If you search "12v battery pack" on amazon/eBay/whatever there are a bunch of options. Here is a random one I picked. The 6000mah one would run a 5W LED (think regular table lamp brightness) for around 10hrs.
Have a S2 and it works great, I bought this rechargeable battery to use with it and it worked great! Keeps charged for about a week and I was an exclusively pumping momma!
This was recommend by another user on this page. Much better battery life and a better shape compared to the m12 batteries.

So I made an induction heater for my dynavap and instead of adding batteries I just bought This battery pack and just plug it into the heater when I use it. I might open up the battery pack and stuff it in a kodi to make a stealth cup though
This is the one I saw recommended on a few blogs, as well as on the r/babybumps page! It’s the one I’ll be buying when my pump comes in. Some people suggested adding some double sided Velcro to the back of the spectra to hold the battery hands free, too!
So I haven’t gotten it yet, but it’s this one
A couple others on reddit recommended it, and if you check the reviews there are a ton that are using it specifically for that with a ton of success! I figured it was worth $35, but not important enough for $150 or so to me.
I have had good luck with this one. Just do not read the specs. There is a catch. It will not supply enough amps plugged into wall. You have to have it unplugged and use batteries. Get a bunch of clicks out of a charge. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uS0jFbZSGK7S0
Any reason we can't use one of these to power it to make it more portable? It matches the output specs on the AC/DC transformer (12v 6.0A).
If the cost is an issue, get the S2 with the battery pack. You can just velcro the battery pack to the bottom of it and carry the whole thing around the way you would with an S1. I'm done with my pumping journey, but this is what I did and I had no issues. This is the battery pack I used.
- Yes, you can use a normal car battery
- You can charge almost any 12v battery from a 12v (cigarette) port in your car, including other car batteries (Just don't leave it plugged in forever unless it has a charge controller)
- An inexpensive 12v battery pack will work fine for $40 (Just search "12v Power Bank") (Like this one)
- Solar kits of size 10 or 20w can be purchased for about $50 on Amazon US, etc, but this won't reliably run your sink without also having a battery
Nice build, hope it gets to good hands!
I had a lot of brand options for my insurance, so I looked for 1. best reviews, 2. closed system for sanitation and resale value, 3. dual electric for pumping options, and 4. loudness. The Spectra S2 ranked very highly in ratings, is a dual electric closed system, and a ton of the reviews mentioned that it is super quiet compared to others. The quiet/loud factor is important to me as I will be in an office setting where sound carries. The S2 beat the Medela easily based on my criteria.
My insurance covered the Spectra S2 (or Medela) for free. The S1 would have been a $135 upgrade, and the only real difference is that the S1 has a portable battery pack. I got the S2, and if I decide I want portability, I will get a battery pack off Amazon for $30.
This is the battery pack on Amazon that lots of reviewers say they use for their Spectra S2.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zZr.EbWB266WQ
Reviews say either the 3000mAh or 6000mAh is fine, the 6000 will just give you twice as much time between charges.

From their website:
>Is there a battery pack that can be used instead of hard-wiring the harness to the motorcycle battery?
>
>There are several 12v battery pack options that can be purchased separately that will work with the ACH-1 connectors such as this option from Talentcell. Please read the specifications carefully and be sure to use a battery pack that does not exceed 13v and works with the ACH-1 connectors. The length of time these batteries will power the helmet in AC mode will vary, but you can expect the following approximate times:
>
>3000mAh battery should power the helmet for around 2 hours
>
>6000mAh battery should power it for 4 hours
>
>12000mAh should work for 6 hours.
Given the sizes and capacities of the modern lithium batteries, it should be possible to build one with a built in battery.
It is the first one that comes up on Amazon when you search 12v power bank. TalentCell Rechargeable 12V 6000mAh/5V 12000mAh DC Output Lithium Ion Battery Pack for LED Strip and CCTV Camera, Portable Li-ion Battery Bank with Charger, Black (Multi-led Indicator) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_h42eDbKYXBTDQ
Current ratings for LEDs indicate the max current they can sink without blowing up or failing prematurely. Since it sounds like these are connected by USB there is probably some sort of regulator built in, they must not be drawing 500ma continuously or else you’d exceed the current rating on your hub.
For your battery setup, it sounds like you’ve over complicated things with USB hubs and AC/DC inverters and such. Cut out all that middle stuff, it is just wasting energy going from DC (battery) to AC and back to DC for the LEDs.
I don’t know if this particular product is any good, it is just the first thing I found to illustrate the point, but the category should have lots of options, people are powering camera lighting setups on battery these days: https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
Each of those batteries provides 12 amp hours at 5v. That’s 60 watt hours. If your LEDs truly need 0.5 amps at 5v it means that they are drawing 2.5 watts each, so to get to 10 hours run time you need 25 watt hours per LED. You might want to do a small scale test or take some measurements before buying 30 battery packs. If you are sizing to spec, you should oversize the battery by about 25% to account for inefficiency in the circuit and degredation of the battery over time. If you are sizing to actual measurements then the inefficiency will be accounted for and you could oversize by only 15-20%.
Also, depending on your usage you should account for the cycle cost. Many lithium ion batteries are only designed to cycle 300-500 times, so if this 10 hour charge is a daily thing, you might want to consider an alternative design or a bigger battery system meant for solar power or something.
I picked up this portable charger a few weeks ago and it works great for charging my Mighty while traveling. It seems to charge it from mostly empty to full at least twice and can be plugged in and recharging while also charging the Mighty. Has a USB port for your phone as well. I've also used it with LED light strips while camping. Only problem was the cord it comes with is a little short. For less than $10 I bought a 3ft cord so I can easily use it while charging. Just an FYI for people looking to charge while out and about.
Why not just use a 12V rechargeable battery pack? Converting DC voltages can be done efficiently, but I'd be surprised if a $10 device was designed with efficiency in mind. Further, connecting devices in parallel to increase current supply is usually a tricky proposition.
https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
You can make something that performs similarly. I have some camera batteries that are 11-16V with an Anton Bauer PTAP output. So I made a PTAP plug to automobile power port receptacle, and then bought a car warp charger. Using the car charger setup, I can do portable warp charging.
You could also make one yourself out of regular items like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/
https://www.amazon.com/Cigarette-Motorcycle-Receptacle-Waterproof-ZHSMS/dp/B07H1MGWFN/
Just wire a DC 2.1 plug for the DC receptacle, and then get yourself a car warp charger.
Wireless off-the-shelf solution is a 12v power bank.
Calibrate every time, always let it warm up for 20 minutes before use, label what powder you have in it, and:
One of these will give you more consistent voltage, which means less overcharges: TalentCell Rechargeable 12V 6000mAh/5V 12000mAh DC Output Lithium Ion Battery Pack for LED Strip and CCTV Camera, Portable Li-ion Battery Bank with Charger, Black (Multi-led Indicator) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_b47CFbX63JM7K

Then get a second one to speed it all up :P
I use an S2 with this battery pack velcroed to the base. Works great! I can get 20-25, 20 min double pump sessions on one charge.
I have a Charge Master. While it usually works great it does have it's moments. I bought a battery pack and cord off Amazon to power it. House current has too many harmonics and can mess with it.

We use the pro installer gateway, but I just power it with a larger 12v rechargeable battery pack, and I purchase a camera PoE splitter and use the pre made cord that comes with it.

The adapter could be custom made I’ve just had bad luck with that. I just use one half of the above unit and remote the male Ethernet and then use a small patch cable.
All in this bag with carabiner:

We then just use our cell phone web browser to login and view radio.
Let's say you bought this:
https://astrozap.com/collections/dew-heaters/products/dew-heater-9-1-4-inch-telescopes
If you run it at the full 12 volts, it will draw 1.3 Amps. So to run it at full tilt for 3 hours would require a 12 volt power supply capable of supporting 1.3 Amp draw, and with at least 3.9 Amp-hour capacity.
Something like this would work:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/
At 12v, it can supply 3 Amps, so it will handle the load of the dew strip. It has a 6 Amp-hour capacity, so at full power, it will let that dew strip run for 4.6 hours (though it will no doubt vary by temperature)
You can connect the dew strap directly to 12v, but then it will always run at full power, which may overheat the corrector and cause warm air currents to really screw with the view. So ideally you would connect it to a PWM controller like this: https://www.highpointscientific.com/telescope-accessories/dew-prevention/dew-controllers/thousand-oaks-digital-dew-heater-controller-ddhc
Then you can control the output. If you reduced the voltage to say, 6 volts, you'll get half the power output, but then double the run time. Put some nice insulation around the dew heater + a dew shield, and you can make the dew heater sip power while keeping dew off of the corrector, giving you maximum run time with minimal heat needed.
A cheaper alternative to that Thousand Oaks dew controller is a PWM controller from Amazon for about $8, a small plastic project box to put it in, and the various wiring components needed to let you connect it to the battery and the dew strap. But depends on how handy you are and willing to DIY the solution.
As u/spekt50 said, using a battery like this is a better path forward for powering the scope. Find some way to mount the battery to the arm, this will prevent cord wrap. I used to use heavy duty Velcro, but now use this 3D printed version that also holds my recommended battery as well.
The lowest cost GPS device I know of is to get one from a mobile phone provider. The device is usually free with the activation of a new line and the monthly cost can be as low as $5 a month (normally $10 but lowers to $5 if you set up auto-pay).
I have one from T-Mobile that I use on my ebike. The on I have is the Sync Up Drive, it is meant for cars, but I have a 12v batteryfor lights that lets me connect an OBD2 port to power it. However they also make a small GPS tracker that could fit in a pocket or bag.
I stopped buying lights that are made for bicycles. Instead I use a 12v Power Bank (similar to this one) and got a small frame bag (similar to this) to hold it while riding, and then use that to power a 12v headlights meant for a motorcycle with a handle bar mounted on/off switch (similar to these).
The lights and switch stay bolted on, and I just have to unplug and remove the battery pack.
Hello, I own the 8SE and enjoy it very much. That being said, it’s drawbacks include: - Needs to be aligned every time you use the scope. This takes a few minutes and requires being precise to get good results. And if you bump the scope of it looses power, then you have to re-align it. - The initial setup requires a bit of menu diving and settings: setting GoTo approach, antibacklash, slew limits, finding the scope’s balance point, etc… - The scope cannot be used without a power source. - Not being able to be aimed much above 70° when properly balanced (so as to not strain the gears) - The mount is a tad wobbly/has vibrations when focusing at higher magnifications (although this really isn’t a bother once you get used to it) - The mount for the hand controller sucks, I would recommend getting a 3D printed one (again costs about $20 USD) - The backlash is annoying. The better gears of the Evolution series are supposed to be better. - Powering the scope with AAs is not convenient and using a power cord can cause issues (there were 2 recent posts were people broke the female power port and fried the electronics). I run my 8SE off this $40 battery - The hand controller doesn’t work well in the cold. - The maximum FOV is not that large and will require a focal reducer or 2” visual back to increase it. - You will more than likely need to buy a dew heater and controller. SCTs love to collect dew. - And a bunch of other little things that might not be really important but fixing them makes the user experience a bit better.
8SE pros: - Once aligned, finding objects is super easy. Just type in the ID and it skews right to it. This is helpful with trying to observe difficult targets or from light polluted skies. Cause you know that the scope will be pointing at the right area, so then you can spend time/effort trying to see the target. Vs with a manual scope not being sure if you are aimed correctly or just can’t see it. - The tracking feature is great for high power observing, sharing the view with others, swapping out filters/eyepieces, and sketching. You can look at an object, then talk to a friend for 10 minutes and when you look back, the object will still be in the FOV. - The scope can be broken down into smaller parts which can make transportation and storage easier. - It rarely needs collimation. I have collimated my 8SE once in 10 years. It was a bit tricky/fiddly, but not difficult.
But the AD8 is a great scope as well. Here are some pros of a manual dob: - More aperture per dollar, meaning you can spend more of your budget on accessories. - Easy to setup. Just put the base on the ground and the OTA on the base, and you are ready to go. - Easy to use, just point at what you want to look at. - Collimation is fairly easy. - Also relatively portable. Can easily be put in a small car. - Requires less accessories (especially the AD series which come with some great stock accessories) - Larger FOV. - Can literally last a lifetime. No electronics of gears that can go bad.
Dob cons: - Need to learn how to star hop. This is not difficult, but practice makes perfect as it does have a learning curve. - Also can collect dew, there are heaters you can buy. But it is not a dew magnet like an SCT. - More regular collimation needed. Some people make small adjustments each time the use it. And others might only make adjustments every few sessions. - Is generally more bulky.
Also consider the Apertura AD10 over the 8”. More aperture is almost always better. And the 10” scope is still relatively portable. The 12” version is where things get awkwardly bulky and heavy.
So in summary: The 8SE is a great scope, but has a lot of drawbacks that may dissuade you (more tinkering, needed accessories, and inherent limitations). But the GoTo and tracking are super convenient. A manual dob is simpler to use and faster to set up, but requires you to manually find and track objects.
Ideally you would get both scopes. For context, the 8SE is currently my main scope. But I am getting (actually building) a 10” dob so that I can have both. I love the 8SE for its tracking and GoTo capabilities, but I wanted a scope with more light gathering capabilities and a quicker setup time. So depending on my mood I can use one or the other. The 8SE will be my scope for sketching, sharing the views with others, when I am too lazy to star hop, and if I want to bring a scope with me on vacation. The 10” dob will be for when I want the best views and when I am too lazy to align the 8SE.
Oh, and consider joining a local astronomy club if possible.
In the future, Moye suggest running your scope of a lightweight portable battery like this
Oh! I also got a battery pack for my Spectra 2 to make it more mobile. This is the battery pack I got, it's been great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
That's the one I use. Lasts for literally multiple days. So much more comfortable shape compared to using an m12 battery.
Pretty cool...I suppose you could add something like this if you don't have 120V available for the transformer https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=12v+battery+pack&qid=1660931516&sr=8-4

On the suggestion of someone on this sub, I got this battery about 6 weeks ago:
I Velcro it to the bottom of my Spectra and it’s worked great so far!
I haven’t used this yet, but I’m going to purchase it from the reviews. here
As others have mentioned, don’t use 15V.
As for another power option, check out this battery. They a
Thanks. That would make this relatively headache free. Something like this would work? https://smile.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/
I’ve had no issues with gain. For batteries, I use this TalenCell with this cable. With external batteries, watch for ultra high frequency noise. Ive seen some batteries introduce a whine/noise well above 20k. Not an issue unless you’re planning to record at 96 or 192 but it’s something to look out for.

Works like a charm, it's super nice to be able to charge disc's with the bag closed to avoid losing night vision. The only choice I question is the size of the charging area. I used 2/3rds of the bag (12ish discs) so i could store lights and it doesn't charge all the disc's well simultaneously. I could see a benefit to a smaller 3-4 disc space but I think it comes down to personal preference.
+1
One of the easiest way I've found to add accessories like this is to get a 12v DC power bank like this one:
https://amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
Wire accessories like a headlight to it's 12v DC output. There are more 12v accessories than anything else. Use the switch on the power bank to turn that accessory on or off.
Pro, it doesn't pull from your main battery letting you have that max mileage.
Con, it doesn't pull from your main battery and you have two things to charge.
Backstory:
Few years ago at my last job my boss had an ION iCade lying around in the IT junk room that I think he received as a gift, and he passed it on to me because I turned their full-sized arcade cabinet into a RetroPie machine. I'd been wanting to convert it for a long time and finally got around to it recently!
After getting the security bits needed to open it up, I ripped out the proprietary chip they were using, which connects to iPads over bluetooth, and thankfully the button board had a standard pinout that I could hook up to a USB arcade controller, which has to hang out the bottom because there was no room for it inside the controls.
Mounting everything to the back was easiest, you can see the power supply (12V 6000 mAh rechargeable baattery from Amazon), the Pi, and the button board for the HDMI chip I got to connect the screen. The cool thing about the battery I got is it came with a split cable that allows you to charge the battery while it's connected to the rPi AND the screen, so I can play it plugged in or take it portably into other rooms.
The screen is a cheap chromebook replacement screen, which I actually found out was an awful idea because of the viewing angles of this type of screen (it's LCD and meant to be viewed in landscape only) which means you can only really see games clearly from head-on.
I was also planning on going the full extra mile and mounting the screen behind some clear plastic and particleboard to make it look more complete, but the screen was bigger than expected and I'm not very confident in my board/plastic cutting abilities lol.
The stock buttons and joystick are also crap, so I'm hoping to replace them soon.
Overall, if you want to do something like this, just build it from scratch lol. This was not worth the effort and the design challenges I had to overcome to make this thing fit my needs, and ION iCades are like $200 on Amazon right now, which is definitely not worth it even if you aren't going to repurpose it. I would not have torn this thing apart if I hadn't gotten it for free. Still, an interesting project that I learned a lot on.
With a Weipu adapter cable. I've run over 8 hours on one charge. I actually bought two of them.. just to make sure. That way you're not running cables.

You will have to confirm the required power of your scope against this battery. But this works for my Nexstar 8SE just fine.
My recommendation:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
I actually bought this for the Elecraft KX-3 radio. Ham radios are notoriously picky about power supplies so this provides nearly a full day of power.
Probably run the Intelledropper for a week on a single charge.
Just for you. Had to search my Amazon orders. Make sure of the voltage and cable end fit. Should be noted on your scale power input port.

Just FYI you can buy a battery on Amazon to make the S2 portable. I bought this one and it works great.
I ordered this battery pack for my spectra and pump in the car all the time!
I get chores done so i can be lazy when not pumping. I also have an S2 anf have made myself mobile with the setup below
My pumping setup for full mobility with the S2 is include pumping bra Battery pack: TalentCell Rechargeable 12V... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Waist belt bag: Portable Breast Pump Bag, Spectra... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RW89MMM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Have been using batter for 1 month and bag for about 2 weeks. Have been EP for almost 2 months since baby was born
I would also suggest looking at Cloudy Nights forum pages. That is THE place to be for telescope help. I am sure there are existing posts about your specific scope that may be helpful.
Have you had any luck aligning it? With a computerized mount, the first/most important thing to learn is how to accurately align it. This forum is specifically for the SE versions of the nexstar scope, but they may be useful to you as well. And at least that is a good jumping off point.
And since you said you are new to all of this, here are some general useful links/tips: - light pollution map - monthly star chart - Stellarium (free desktop software) - SkySafari or Stellarium mobile app - Telrad (useful accessory) - heated dew shield (plus a controller) - better battery
If you can’t get the S1 covered and still want to go that direction you can get a battery it has worked really great for me.

I bought this battery. My husband attached it to the bottom of my pump with double sided tape and it is super convenient.
What's its normal power source? If it's a 12v power supply, you can easily replace that with a rechargeable battery pack.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Talentcell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-Indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
I use these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/
It has 12v output for monitors, 5v output for a RPi.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
4 of those are powering over 120ft of leds. 2 in the front handlebar bag. 2 under my seat.
First off, something like this Could be charged by something like one of these
But even if I assume you meant 230mA or .23A, that puts power consumption under 3W. A single 18650 with say 2200mAh is somewhere around 8Wh: you want 10 hours? 30WH is like 6 cells. You would draw something like .6A from a normal 5v power bank with a boost converter. Charge the power bank with a normal usb car charger. Or diy a power bank with your charge and discharge needs.there is tons of material out there about how to build one. I will say it's usually much easier to stick to single parallel packs as opposed to going series, it brings many more complications than just boosting a single cell
https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
This is the one I have. Runs way longer than using a Milwaukee battery and feels way better in the pocket since it's flat
https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
I have this one. Runs all day long. Is flat so sits way better in my pocket. Much cheaper than the one you linked
I have a Cycle Gear heated jacket and I bought a 12V battery off amazon to use it off the bike. The one I bought is gigantic (11Ah) and will power the jacket on full for hours but you could buy a smaller one like this:
Milwaukee batteries are kind of bulky. This battery is just as bulky but 2x the capacity of a comparable sized Milwaukee tool battery. I got one of those for my girlfriend's mom and it was too big to fit the battery pocket of her vest. So I bought her one of these batteries instead. But I'm not sure either of these could handle 6.2 amps. The Milwaukee battery pack definitely can't put out that much power. I burned out their 18v power source on what I believe was a 4.5 amp load.
I couldn't find the exact one I had bought but here is one that looks identical from amazon and around the same price. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OB8QDbATX0Z44
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?smid=A24OIV2F0TL1K3&psc=1 gives you 6 amps vs the 1.5 so 4 times longer.
Or just use this cause it fits better and runs the coat on high with the pockets on high as well for about 20 hours nonstop.
I use these on my Pi systems:
I have a Garmin Striker Plus hooked up to this battery. You don't need a big heavy battery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Everybody should ditch the M12s and use this . It runs the jacket on high for 20 hours and is only a little bigger than a cell phone.
This runs my jacket on high for 20 hrs. It’s a little larger than a cell phone.
It's got a bms that has over charge and discharge protection. This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/
Wouldn’t something like this be better? It would at least be a lot more efficient and smaller since there no inverter in there. https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C
Your’e welcome, let me know if something is unclear once you do it
Your light will use 500mAh per hour, so depending on how often you want to charge it and how big of a weight you want to add to the bike you can decide for yourself.
With a 6000mAh battery your light will run about 12hrs. Deduct a little bit for self discharge, temperature fluctuations, and maybe you want to add a tail light. I'd choose a battery with 6000mAh or more.
A battery-pack like this comes with a charger, i believe a circuit protection and a USB outlet for your phone or a little GPS speedo- and odometer: https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=12v+power+bank&qid=1595261149&sr=8-3
A pack of those plugs will help connecting your devices: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C7VSRBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also own and can recommend this tail light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0793HWQM2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(be careful its a lot smaller then it appears on amazon) You can hook that up to the same switch as your headlight, turning both of them on with only one switch. Neat!
My headlight needs 6V-80V, you can find such in the e-bike section. Thats why I decided for this battery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K31VBLY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Lights with a wider range for volts are handy because they will stay as bright even though you voltage drops a bit with a discharging battery. But it only has 8.4V so be aware, a 12V LED might not work.
And here’s my headlight if youre interested https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MBXDPBX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I couldn’t find cheap and proper cords really online. But you’re looking for a maybe 18-2 stranded wire, they should sell them by feet at ace hardware.
Can you solder? That will help here. But there are other options too, your first electrical light build might look messy but you will be so satisfied turning everything on with only one switch.
| You're focusing on the shape of the cell, rather than the contents inside the cell.
You are correct! :D
This was suggested to me by FunDeckHermit on my other thread and about to purchase it tonight.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=emc_b_5_mob_t
My guess is that my usage of this battery in this cold weathers will be minimal maybe 5 times per winter. Hmm, I don't really know, depending on how I will become obsessed with night photography/timelapse again. I was thinking oversizing it like what he said. My existing 12v 10000mAh SLA battery worked really well before. The only thing I don't like with this battery is its weight and bulkiness.
To piggy back off this, a cheaper solution might be to just buy a 12v portable battery pack and car port adapter to charge it, though a jump start battery and solar panels are definitely solid investments if you don't mind spending a bit more.
These are the two batteries I was looking at so far
I'm trying to use the speaker enclosure as my case so the lithium might be a better option due to size.
Yes it is a for a Blacksys Ch-100b. The reason I was asking is because I am interested in wiring a 12v power bank to my dash cam. For example something like this, and I wasn't sure if I could connect the power bank directly with a 12v DC cable, or if I needed to splice that cable to include those fuses in between. Looks like I should include the fuses in between right?
Here is a diagram of how I plan to connect everything together. Does this look right?
Hi, check this out.
Awesome information!
SO I upgraded to this battery: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A24OIV2F0TL1K3
It really should be enough because probably only do 2-4 hours max fishing at night. (also its slim light and easily rechargeable)
I just wanted to confirm this is the clip on power i need:
Yeah I've looked very carefully at those cheaper options as well, and wonder if this lower-capacity one (6000mAh @ 12v) would be enough to power a mount and a USB cooling fan.
yeah, its pretty old. I actually decided to just go new with it, and go with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A24OIV2F0TL1K3
