New dew system

Guys. Would really appreciate some advice on this.

As we're heading into the cooler nights it's becoming increasingly obvious I'm in need of more than a simple dewshield to combat the dew problem with my SCT.

I recently bought a 12V 17aH power pack which has 2 12V outlets and is already powering my EQ6 and Synscan.

I'm thinking of plugging a Kendrick Model VI dew controller into the second outlet to primarily power an AstroZap heater for the CP on the 9.25.

I'm not too concerned about heaters for the finder and ep's at this stage.

Based on that, how much time should I get out of a fully charged battery with very moderate use of go-to and setting the controller on low-med?

Also, can you think of a better way to set myself up as far as my power needs go?

Your help much appreciated.
