Is this the death of the Powertank

[Alien 13]

If you can buy kit that will run off 5V like the EQ3/5 with std drives then a mobile phone power bank beats anything else out there.

Over where? And out back?

It's cloudy here, I have to start packing, and my glass is empty.

So I'm heading over to the kitchen, getting out my jug, and getting another snoot full.

Carrion...

 

(Hey you started it....)

You mean this?

Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.

Captain Oveur: Roger!

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.

Captain Oveur: Roger!

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Victor Basta: Request vector, over.

Captain Oveur: What?

Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.

Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.

Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!

Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.

Tower voice: Over.

Captain Oveur: Roger.

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Tower voice: Roger, over!

Roger Murdock: What?

Captain Oveur: Huh?

Victor Basta: Who?

I think a definitive answer to the question on this gadget is needed.
Is It capable of supporting the power needs of a fully loaded Imaging rig throughout
 a long data capturing session on a winters night?
Mount drive, Focuser, Filter wheel, Cameras, not forgetting Dew straps.
How does it react to prolonged Cold Temperatures for instance?
It looks very compact for sure, but does everything good come in small bundles?
Battery technology has improved enormously for sure, and at the price,
this unit looks attractive. But, has it been trialled by anyone ?

Actually, Doug, I'm still sticking with my behemoth AGM battery for now. It's a pain to move around, but works all night, night after night. And in a pinch, will start the car.

I hope for those who do adventure into the labyrinth of Lithium, it proves worthy of their trust and investments.

Like CMOS cameras, it is probably the future of the sport.

That’s a four for sure....

I use that unit on my Orion Az/Eq6 in Alt/Az mode. The mount holds a C11 and 130mm f7 triplet. Both have a 2” diagonal and eyepiece.  The battery powers the mount for around 5-6 hours without problems.
