Is this power supply any good?

Just bought this, along with the flight cases I posted about from maplin, it was £60 and is a jump starter, 2 12v dc ports, compressor, 200w 3 pin plug converter and has a work light in it too. It is a 17ah battery. Seems good to me. I think the Goto mount uses 1ah to 2ah (2 when slewing) so should last way over 10 hours before a charge right?

should do the job, check the voltage of the goto mount, it might be 6v and 12v would damage it

As above, assuming your mount runs from 12v (get a step down cable if not) should be good.

Make sure you look after it though, that means charge it up after every use and if not used for a month, put it on to charge.

I can't remember the technical reasons, but it can have a short life if not cared for in this way (deep cycle something something ...)

My mount runs off 8 1.5v batteries so I'm guessing that it will be 12v right?

This is what I have and it's brilliant. I bought on a recommendation from my old boss who has his own garage as all the cheaper ones I tried wouldn't start a totally flat car or ran out of charge very quickly. Pricey but well worth it.

I have exactly the same "5 in 1" Jon and it's lasted 18 months so far - and on a full charge I get a good 4-5hr session out of it every time, only driving the mount (no heaters). I allways recharge straight after a session and top up every 3mths if inactive. I'm v.pleased with it

(The light came in very handy for 24hrs when we fried our mains circuit board lol)
