The battery supplies a nominal 11.1V output, peaking at 12.6V, to ensure your mount's motors and electronics perform correctly through long observing sessions. Weighing just 10.2 oz (290g) and measuring a compact 2.75\" x 2.15\" x 1.5\", it integrates seamlessly with your mount, eliminating the risk of cord wrap from external power tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e4400 mAh Capacity: Consistent 11.1V Power for All-Night Sessions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a capacity of 4400 mAh, this battery provides ample power for a typical night of visual observing or imaging. The stable 11.1V nominal voltage is critical for GoTo electronics; power sags from under-specced batteries can lead to inaccurate slews and poor tracking. This unit's 12.6V peak voltage ensures the mount has sufficient power on-demand for rapid slewing without compromising tracking accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e10.2 oz Integrated Design: Cord-Free Operation for iOptron Mounts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary advantage of this battery is its physical integration. At only 10.2 oz (290g), it adds minimal weight to your setup and, most importantly, eliminates the external power cable that can snag or wrap around the mount as it slews across the sky.
