So can I just connect a 12V battery directly to the mount?

OK - I have a trickle charger that (C-Tek), and can buy a deep-cycle car / boat battery.

But presumably I need at least a cable with the correct power terminator for the mount. Are the connectors and cables standard?

Can you just connect the 12V battery directly without any further power treatment (regulator etc.)?

The mount will be a Celestron AVX.
