The power supply is not provided - and wasn't with any of the other mounts I have.

Thanks for the reply Camelopardalis.
So how then do you power your mount? As for cheaper alternatives, I've found some 12V power supplies with cigarette lighter outputs that I presume would do the job. But I'm concerned that I might be voiding the Celestron warranty (I saw a statement somewhere in their documentation to the effect that using a non-Celestron power supply will void the warranty).
But the power tank certainly looks good for operating out in the field. Have you had any experience with it, in particular how long you can operate on one charge, e.g. can it handle an all-night session?
