Portable 12v power for my dew fan?

Howdy all!

My third post in three odd years. I apologise for that. Quality over quantity etc.

I dragged the scope out the other night and now I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner. Got a slight query if anyone has encountered this situation.

I've got a Bintel 8" Dob. At the back is a 12v fan for cooling the primary; a battery pack is supplied with the scope, which takes 8 AA batteries. I'm thinking it's slightly unweieldy- is there some sort of portable power bank that outputs 12V to power the fan? I'm sure there is, and I had a look at the Jaycar website but oddly enough, I can't find anything that's suitable.

Looking on the web I can find plenty of sites that have a DIY approach but I'd rather just grab something off-the-shelf if possible. Has anybody else encountered this slightly annoying situation?

Thanks all,
Darren
