12v Power
Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2019 4:29 pm
Question: Rather than having so many 12v DC PSU going to one AC block to power up all my equipment (HEQ5 Pro/Camera/Focuser etc...), could I not use just one 12v DC PSU with a huge amperage output, and use a splitter to distribute the power to all the equipment???
Assuming the voltage is regulated and polarity is correct I can't see an issue. Some people use power banks (like the Skywatcher 7 Amp Power Tank). If I use something like:

...the amperage is more than enough to power all the equipment with plenty left over without over cooking it?
As far as I am aware the equipment will only take what it needs as long at the voltage is stable.
