Fahim - congrats on the new scope.
You can buy a GMC 17AH (amp-hour) battery booster/power tank from Bunnings that costs around the $60 mark. I bought one the other day and its been fantastic - better than the larger one I bought from SuperCheap a while back. It comes with a LED front light as well - which you can colourise the lens to red if you wish. The case is well built and if it ever has a problem, GMC comes to your house to replace it as per the Bunnings/GMC warranty.
I also run a separate 17AH sealed battery from Jaycar - but the combined price of the battery and the appropriate charger is more than the whole GMC unit - and then you have to put it in a case or something.
Just my 2c

Anybody used the power tanks sold by supercheap etc used for car jump starting? Or is Jaycar battery better.
I saw a post on LX90 by a user looking to fit 2 6V SLA batteries into the battery compartment. But there was no followup about success or failure on this front. I would prefer an external solution that could be used for other gadgets, even the laptop if need arise. Any suggestions.
