Which lithium power tank?

Another vote here for Tracer. Depending on what you buy, you may have to look at additional sockets, housing, etc.
But good battery packs.

After looking at Tracer (for lamping) I came across the Ridge Monkey Vault (for carp fishing!!). Chose it for the connections and very pleased with build quality.

12v high current, 2x USB A, 1XUSB C. Small light and delivers what it claims. 13AH version sufficient for my mount all night.

A bit off a clue. 😁

Clearly the central hole is where the mirror lives, the tube goes on top, and the tracks are for... tracking.

That looks smart. Tried looking and they're discontinued though. ☹️

This one caught my eye:

Any expert thoughts are appreciated. 😀

Still find stock in fishing shops. They come with charger and bag too so worth a look.

Thanks. I've put buying another battery on hold until I get the chance to actually take the mount somewhere. Potentially hundreds of pounds have been saved by buying an Orange Box instead! (for my spare extension reel to sit in) 😄

A very cheap (free) source of a 7Ah battery is the sealed lead acid type that are used for house alarms. They often get re[placed in a service but still have loads of life left. Also a 'dodgy' car starter battery will last for ages when only used for 3 or 4 amps. Big fan of orange boxes!
