Both good setups, I have been planning to build one soon myself so it is handy to see how other people are doing it.
My biggest issue is my battery is going to need to be big to avoid over discharging it. The mount is one thing but with a 9.25" SCT, the corrector heater draws a bit of current, a couple of amps continuous on really cold nights.
I keep meaning to get myself a bench power supply which could be in my shed (Which is near where I observe) and have heavy wiring run out to the scope each night, that way I know it will just keep on going, not suitable for imaging as a small power interruption in the shed would probably wreck an imaging run but for my visual use the worst it would do would be leave me having to do a mount alignment again.
Regardless of that I still need a field battery.
