I am not that sure ! If you have an old version of the LX system which was
made to run on 12 volts, you should use it with 12 volts, and not with 18 v.
If you buy a converter of poor quality once you start your telescope maybe
you will only get 14 volts, but if your telescope was made for 12 volts, go
for 12 volts only. Mine is 18 volts, but it might be a new version.
