  • Software Bisque EGO Battery Adaptor to Paramount Power Adaptor

    The Software Bisque EGO Battery Adaptor to Paramount Power Adaptor provides a robust, streamlined solution for powering your high-precision mount at remote observing sites. This adapter allows you to leverage the high-capacity, widely available EGO 56V battery system, eliminating the need for heavy, dedicated deep-cycle batteries or access to AC power. For imagers who travel to dark skies, this simple adapter is the key to untethered, all-night operation.

    Untether Your Paramount: Reliable Field Power from EGO Batteries

    Power is the most critical component for a successful night of imaging, especially away from home. This adapter directly connects a Software Bisque Paramount MYT, MX or ME mount to an EGO 56V battery, providing a stable and long-lasting power source. You can now run your entire mount and its electronics from a compact, swappable battery, simplifying your field setup and reducing cable clutter.

    The EGO Advantage: High-Capacity, Swappable Power for All-Night Sessions

    The EGO battery platform is known for its high energy density and reliability, making it an excellent choice for demanding astronomical equipment. By integrating your Paramount into this ecosystem, you gain the ability to easily swap batteries during an imaging session if needed. This system provides a more portable and convenient alternative to traditional lead-acid or LiFePO4 power tanks, especially if you already use EGO tools for other purposes.

  • What is the primary function of the Software Bisque EGO to Paramount Power Adaptor?

    This adapter allows you to power a Software Bisque Paramount MYT, MX or ME mount using a standard EGO 56V battery, the same kind used in EGO power tools. It provides a simple and effective way to run your mount in the field without needing AC power or a dedicated astronomy power tank.

    Why would I use an EGO battery instead of a dedicated deep-cycle battery for my Paramount mount?

    EGO batteries offer several advantages for field use. They are generally lighter, more compact, and feature a quick-swap design. If you already own EGO tools, this adapter lets you use batteries you already have, reducing the amount of gear you need to purchase and transport for astronomy.

    Is this EGO to Paramount adapter compatible with all Paramount models?

    Not all. Software Bisque lists it for the Paramount MYT, MX and ME, and dealer listings name the ME II, MX, MX+ and MYT. The Paramount Taurus is not listed. It provides the correct connection to interface the EGO battery's output with the mount's power jack.

    How long can I power my Paramount MYT at a star party with this adapter?

    The runtime depends entirely on the capacity of the EGO battery you use (e.g., 5.0Ah, 7.5Ah, 10.0Ah) and the power consumption of your specific setup. A fully charged, high-capacity EGO battery can typically power a Paramount mount through a full night of imaging, but it's always recommended to bring a spare battery for extended sessions or cold weather, which can reduce battery performance.

    To power my Paramount ME II from an EGO battery, what else do I need besides this adapter?

    You will need two additional items:

    • An EGO 56V battery of your preferred capacity.
    • An EGO 56V battery charger to recharge the battery between sessions. The adapter connects directly to the EGO battery, and its cable plugs into the mount's power input.

    Does the Software Bisque EGO adapter regulate the voltage for the Paramount mount?

    The adapter is not specified to regulate voltage. It connects directly to the 56V EGO battery; there is no power station or inverter in the setup.
