FAQ: Why is it 13.8V and not 12V?

A: For all practical purposes you can consider 13.8V and 12V as the same - it's just that automotive, marine and leisure batteries (the type of battery this PSU was designed to replace) actually put out 13.8V and not 12V. The AC342 power supply is perfectly suited for use with all Meade, Celestron, Sky Watcher etc 12V telescopes.
