I recently purchased a Meade ETX 90-AT telescope in an attempt to explore astrophotography and general astronomy. I wasn't sure how I would be powering the motor drive, so at first I ordered an AC adapter, thinking I would run a cord from my house out to the yard where I set up the telescope. On second thought, though, I decided that would require a long and heavy extension cord, which is a real pain to work with. (I used it for a power lawnmower, and it's very heavy.) So I ordered this DC power cord, with the idea of using it with an auto jump-starter we have in the garage. As it turned out, this was a great move. I carried the jump-starter (essentially a sealed car battery or the equivalent) out into the yard, plugged in this cord, and hooked the other end into the telescope's control panel, and everything powered up and worked great. No need to wrestle with an awkward and very long extension cord; this cord is 25 feet long, more than enough, and is lightweight, but still feels substantial, as if it will hold up for years of use. I am very glad I purchased it, and it will be getting plenty of use on nights to come.

What can I say it works. It provides the ability to use a 12 volt battery as a power source. I use it with an auxiliary battery I use for starting cars with dead batteries. It is cheaper than buying batteries all of the time.
