The Battery Genie


 

The battery genie strikes again¡­.

Here¡¯s the background.? I¡¯ve got a G11T, love the mount.? I¡¯m running a tandem setup, an LX200 ACF 10¡± with an ED 127.? Early December I replaced the 15¡± dovetail with an 18¡± to accommodate a guide scope that would fit in the middle of the two scopes.? Been quite busy the past few months, so tonight I figured I¡¯d polar align, recalibrate PHD, build a model, re-align the TGAD for the ED 127 to the LX200, etc..? All was going well centering the LX200 in SGP when the slews got a little demonically possessed.? Tried it again and had the same problem.? ??Also, it wouldn¡¯t go to home position (I have a roll off roof so I have to park it level to the deck). So just for giggles I checked the battery voltage and saw that it was a bit yellow.? Like 2.7v yellow.? Thought Hhhhm, well there ya go.? I¡¯ll be replacing it tomorrow night.? Battery was last changed in October of ¡¯21.

Live and learn folks.? Live and learn¡­
