Thanks, I knew it was too good to be true.

Kunama, I think you are right. I found few other models and, if specified, the capacity is always at 3.7V and not at 12V. This is very misleading advertising considering the pack is outputting 12V and not 3.7V.

The capacity is probably even less for this particular model as the LiFePo4 batteries usually run at 3.2V and not 3.7V like the LiIon batteries.
45Ah@3.2V = 12Ah@12V... should be enough to run EQ6 a whole night (especially if it is mainly tracking and not slewing much)

Just noticed they also have a larger model, 58Ah (says 58WH which is likely a typo - or maybe it is 58Wh???). This one has two 12V barrel connectors which would make interfacing to the mount easier.
