Meade AC adapter for ETX & LS 6
Use the Meade AC adapter for ETX & LS 6 to connect your Meade to the mains. The inverter converts standard 220 volt AC current to 12 volt DC current. This European AC adapter supports the ETX 70/80/90/125 and the ETX-LS 6" and all Meade DS telescopes.
Note: product comes with an European plug

This product is great for use at home and in a field (with a power tank) as the multi adaptors allow lots of power choices. For anyone who is fed up buying batteries you need this.
Question: Sabri Zain, 16 September 2011 Not a question, but just a report back - I received my order today. The good news is that it works perfectly on UK mains supply, with a traveller adapter. The even better news - other than the Pros listed above, running your ETX80 on mains really, really improves slew performance, speed and accuracy. I don't care what Meade says but batteries - no matter how fresh or high quality they are - just can't cope with the scope's motor. You can really tell the difference when it's own AC. Answer: that is good to know
Question: Anonymous, 13 September 2011 Would the power supply work here in the UK if I used it with an adapter for Dutch plugs? Answer: Yes this would not be a problem.
Question: brian stuck, 14 May 2011 you have advised that the etx80 power supply would not be suitable and you list a celestron one but this is also 12volt.Is this really suitable? thank you b stuck Answer: The Celestron power adapter is not suitable for Meade ETX telescopes.
Question:
brian stuck, 14 May 2011
you list a power supply for the etx 80 as 12 volt but i have been dvised that this should be for 9volt as mine runs off 6 x 1.5volt batteries, please advise. I also need the 506 lead and software for viewing via my laptop. many thanks Brian Stuck.
Answer:
Dear Mr. Stuck,
I am afraid the power adapter we have available for the Meade ETX80 has a European plug, not a British one. It is possible to use a 12 volt adapter with theETX80 though.
We do have the 506 cable plus associated software available for you. Please follow the following link:

Question: brian stuck, 1 May 2011 My etx80AT-TC,( purchased 2007), refers to an input voltage of 9volts. Would the adapter you sell be suitable for battery replacement. With many thanks, B Stuck Answer: This adapter would not be suitable because it is made for the dutch market. You can use the following adapter also on your meade ETX 80: www.telescopeplanet.co.uk/uk-ac-adapter-for-celestron
