Assuming the EQ5 you are talking about is the Orion Skywatcher EQ5, 
the features list on the website says it needs 12-volt DC - 2A (tip 
positive).  You can buy AC/DC adapters of this power level.

I don't quite understand the whole "...battery pack won't charge..." 
thing.  Sounds like you've got a connection backward or something.
