Skywatcher 7Ah Power Tank

Well, the first item in my Astrophotography setup arrived yesterday.....the HEQ5PRO mount.

I'm just waiting on everything else at the moment but, in the meantime, it's got me thinking about how I'm going to power everything.

Here's a list of what I've ordered in terms of items which will require power:

HEQ5PRO Mount
ASI290MM Mini Guide Camera
ASI183MM Pro Camera
ASI Filter Wheel
2 X Dew Heaters
Pegasus Pocket Powerbox

Looking at the DC adaptor from Pegasus Astro it works out at about $240 with shipping which seems ridiculous.

I've been looking at the Skywatcher 7Ah Power Tank as an alternative with the other benefit being that it would give me the option of being mobile instead of having to rely on a 240v power supply.

My question is, does anyone with a similar setup use one of these Power Tanks?

I just want to make sure it's going to be sufficient to power everything on my setup.

As always, thank you in advance.
