All Meade LX200 telescopes are equipped to operate from an input voltage of 18 volts DC. For field use, all it takes to guarantee optimal performance is a standard 12v.DC automobile cigarette lighter plug and the #1812 Electronic DC Adapter. The #1812 automatically converts 12v.DC into 18v.DC power. It measures 2" x 4" x 1" and weighs only 4 ounces. A 25-foot cord is included.

Note: The #1812A Electronic DC Adapter is required for use with the 16" LX200 because of its higher current capacity. All other LX200 models use the #1812 adapter. For LX10 and LX90 models, the #607 Power Cord allows operation from a 12v. auto cigarette lighter plug.
