Celestron 2.5 A AC Adapter for Computerized Telescopes

SKU CH-A7V6-36S3F

A 2.5 A AC adapter powers Celestron computerized telescope mounts from a wall outlet for uninterrupted observing

  • Reliable indoor and outdoor power from standard wall outlets
  • Compatible with all Celestron computerized telescope mounts
  • Uninterrupted 2.5 A supply avoids battery drainage during long sessions
  • Performs better than batteries in cooler temperatures
  • Recommended alternative 5 A adapter 18780 for astroimaging setups

Power for Celestron mounts

This 2.5 amp AC adapter supplies continuous mains power to Celestron computerized telescope mounts. It replaces battery packs for observers who operate near a wall outlet and want uninterrupted sessions. The unit is built for indoor or outdoor sockets and fits every computerized mount in the current Celestron range.

Cool running and silent

With no moving parts the adapter produces no audible noise during operation. It draws power only when the mount is active and generates minimal heat, so it can sit on a table or tripod tray without special ventilation. The 2.5 amp rating covers typical visual observing loads on a balanced telescope.

Plug-and-play convenience

A fixed mains lead and the standard Celestron power jack mean no extra cables or adapters are required. The moulded strain relief protects the connection during repeated set-up and pack-down cycles. For astroimaging rigs that add cameras, guiders or dew heaters the higher-current 5 amp model 18780 is the appropriate choice.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 2.5 A adapter to my NexStar SE mount?

Insert the barrel plug into the mount's power socket and plug the adapter into any indoor or outdoor wall outlet.

Will the cable or plug need replacing after repeated outdoor use?

The unit is a sealed mains adapter with no user-serviceable parts; if the cord or connector becomes damaged, replace the whole adapter.

What happens if I run the Advanced VX mount with this adapter all night in cold weather?

The 2.5 A rating covers typical visual observing; sustained heavy loads or added imaging accessories may exceed its capacity, causing the mount to reset.
