AVX startup message

#1

Post by jazzin »

This is a startup message I've never saw before.

Last night the circuit board went out on my Celestron Lithium Powertank so I thought well I'll just use my Marine battery and power it that way. But if I use the marine battery, I would have to use my old power cable with the cigarette plug on one end. So this morning I went to Auto Zone and bought a NOCO converters with the cigarette outlet that has the red and black alligator clips to connect to a battery. However, when I try to get Power this way I get the message 'Boot Start' on the hand controller. But when I plug it into my old Celestron Power Tank, it starts the right way and I get the regular startup message. Has anybody else experienced this with the AVX mount?

What converter are you using?
It sounds like it is not getting the proper amount of power.

Thanks for the reply Lady Fraktor,

Thats correct. The marine battery I have is dead or almost dead and that's why I was getting that message.
