| This battery/charger combination consists of a 12VDC 12 amp hour capacity battery with a separate 110/120VAC battery recharger. The sealed gel cell deep discharge battery has an attached cable terminated in the appropriate plug to connect it to any Takahashi EM or NJP mount, as well as to the supplied AC adapter for recharging. The recharger has an automatic electronic cutoff to protect the battery from overcharging. The 12 amp hour capacity of the battery is sufficient to power the standard non-goto EM2, EM10, EM11, EM200, EM500, and NJP mounts for an evening’s observing. However, it does not have the capacity needed for extensive slewing with the Temma-equipped computerized go-to versions of these mounts. The higher capacity #TBAT26 26 amp hour capacity battery is recommended for these go-to mounts. The battery is not made by Takahashi, but rather by the Takahashi importer. Consequently, its appearance does not match the fit and finish of the Takahashi mounts. |
