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.

Yes. You can connect direct to a car battery. The mount should come with a car cigarette lighter plug cable.
At any car accessory shop, Super Cheap, Repco etc you can buy a cable with two clamps and a female cigarette lighter socket.

Just make sure you clip on the correct polarity when you attach it to the battery. Red to positive. Black to Negative. Then plug in your mount.
