Can I Use a Power Bank with NOMAD? Can I Charge It While It’s Working?

Yes — you can use a power bank to power your NOMAD star tracker, and you can charge it and run it at the same time. This makes external battery packs very handy for long night‑shooting sessions.

🔌 Powering NOMAD with a Power Bank

NOMAD Star Tracker accepts 5 V power input (USB‑C).

Note: Some users use a regular wall adapter (USB-A output) to charge NOMAD. In that case:

  • The adapter output must be 5 V, 1–2 A

  • The charging cable should have USB-A on the adapter side and USB-C on the NOMAD side.
