More Info

Power up your astronomy gear wherever you stargaze!

The Orion Dynamo Pro 12's mighty 12 amp-hour capacity will keep your 12-volt astronomy equipment powered while at your favorite remote viewing location, or while out in the far corner of the backyard. The Dynamo Pro 12 Ah Power Station has two 12V "auto-lighter" output ports (10 amps max.), plus 3V, 6V, and 9V male pin jack outputs. It's fully rechargeable, and includes 110V and 12V DC charging adapters. The Dynamo Pro also includes interchangeable 110v-240v AC adapter plugs for UL (US style plug, 110v/60Hz), BS (230v/50Hz) and Europe (230v/50Hz) standard voltage AC outlets for increased versatility. A helpful indicator light tells you when the battery needs recharging.

Other useful features on the Orion Dynamo Pro 12 Ah Rechargeable Power Station include a detachable red flashlight, 55-watt white halogen spotlight, AM/FM radio, and booster cables to jump-start a weak car battery. The red flashlight is especially useful for astronomers who need a little illumination while stargazing without disrupting your dark-adapted vision. The very bright 55-watt white halogen spotlight is a big help when packing up your astronomy equipment after observing or imaging sessions. The bright light will make it easy to find any small pieces of gear that may have been misplaced while stargazing or capturing astrophotos. Please remember to use the white spotlight wisely, especially at star-parties or group stargazing sessions. Avoid using the white light while others are taking astrophotos or using telescopes nearby so you do not inadvertently disrupt their dark-adaptation. The booster cables have saved many Orion staff members from having to call for roadside assistance for a weak car battery!

Always keep your Dynamo charged according to the included instructions for proper use. 

Weighs 11 lbs., 14oz.

It's a good thing I didn't purchase this item for the AM/FM radio, because they don't work! I needed this to power my new GO TO telescope. Regardless, I would suggest a quality check of the functions before shipping. Diappointed I didn't get everything I paid for, but at least it provides power for telescope.

I was considering the purchase of a D cell charger and rechargeable D cell batteries. However the expense of the Orion Dynamo Pro and the charger,batteries was close to the same. Replacement of D cell rechargeable batteries were more costly than what a replacement SLA battery would cost. The Dynamo also is a nice neat package with many other features than the charger/batteries.
Favorite viewing location:??Backyard
Favorite object to observe:??Of course Saturn and galaxies/nebulae
Pros: many great features
Cons: did not come with a male/male power cord
Yes, I recommend this product!

I got the Dynamo Pro after buying a CGEM mount. My smaller Celestron unit was starting to lose its charge after a couple of hours and not up to the increased electrical demand. The Dynamo was a pleasant surprise last winter. It not only kept my mount going strong but also ran my Astro-zap (3 channels burning) during the entire observing session. I quit before it did. I couldn't be more satisfied. Thanks Orion.
Favorite viewing location:??front yard/back yard
Favorite object to observe:??star clusters
Pros: meets large mount needs, long lasting charge
Cons: radio needs antenna
Yes, I recommend this product!

I bought this power station a few years ago. It worked as promised for a couple of years. I used it infrequently, more as a backup than a main power supply. I kept it fully charged indoors (periodically checking and recharging it when necessary) ready to go all the time. I follwed the instructions to the letter. Then it simply stopped taking a charge. The battery inside had given out after what was less than 25 hours of total use. Needless to say I felt that I did not get my money's worth from this product.
