  • Lithium-Poly Battery for SkyHunter

    This official replacement Lithium-Poly Battery for the iOptron SkyHunter mount provides a robust 4600 mAh capacity and a nominal 3.7V output (peaking at 4.2V) to keep your tracker running all night. Engineered for portability, it weighs only 72 g and measures a compact 12 x 41 x 71 mm, adding minimal weight to your travel imaging setup.

    4600 mAh Capacity for Extended Field Sessions

    The 4600 mAh capacity ensures your SkyHunter mount has the power it needs for long imaging sessions, from dusk until dawn. The stable 3.7V output is perfectly matched to the mount's electronics, providing consistent tracking without interruption. This high-capacity cell is essential for remote dark-sky sites where external power is not an option.

    A 72g, Compact Power Source for the SkyHunter

    Designed as an exact-fit replacement, this battery maintains the SkyHunter's core advantage: portability. At a mere 72 g and with dimensions of 12 x 41 x 71 mm, it fits seamlessly into the mount's housing without affecting balance or increasing your travel weight. Having a spare, fully-charged battery ensures you never miss a clear night due to power loss.

  • What is the capacity of the Lithium-Poly Battery for SkyHunter?

    This battery has a capacity of 4600 mAh. This is sufficient to power the iOptron SkyHunter mount for extended astrophotography sessions, typically lasting a full night.

    What is the correct charging voltage for the SkyHunter Lithium-Poly Battery?

    The correct charging voltage is less than 4.2V. Using a charger that exceeds this voltage can damage the battery and is not recommended. Always use the charging system supplied with your SkyHunter mount.

    How does the 72g weight of the SkyHunter battery affect the mount's portability?

    The 72 g weight is extremely low, which is a critical feature for a travel mount like the SkyHunter. It ensures that the battery does not add significant weight to your gear, making it ideal for hiking, airline travel, and quick setups in remote locations.

    What are the dimensions of the SkyHunter battery?

    The battery measures 12 x 41 x 71 mm. These compact dimensions allow it to fit perfectly within the designated battery compartment of the SkyHunter mount without modification.

    Is this battery compatible with other iOptron mounts besides the SkyHunter?

    This battery is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the iOptron SkyHunter mount. Its voltage, form factor, and connector are tailored for this model. Compatibility with other mounts is not guaranteed and it should only be used with the specified device.

    How does the 4600 mAh capacity of the SkyHunter battery benefit a long night of wide-field imaging?

    For a long night of capturing targets like the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) or the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, consistent power is crucial. The 4600 mAh capacity provides confidence that the SkyHunter mount will continue tracking accurately for many hours, preventing trailed stars and ruined sub-exposures due to power failure.
