In additiaon to the battery I have now it shows that there is 50% charged and I haven't even touched it since last night. ?I think the battery has had it.
thanks

Shane - this LED bar ammeter, is this on your mount or the powerpack? You need to know how much current (amps or milliamps: 1amp = 1000mA) as well as what voltage your mount requires.
So if the mount operates off 12 volts and draws (requires) 1 amp then you'll need a REGULATED 240 VAC (ie mains supply) to 12 volts DC power supply capable of supplying at least 1 amp at the output - preferably 1.5 to 2 amps. Even more if you're thinking of running other gear off the power supply. If your mount requires 2 amps to run then you'd be looking at something that delivers 3 or 4 amps at 12 volts output.
Voltage output (DC of course) sufficient current capability (in amps) and REGULATED OUTPUT are your criteria!
Cheers, Darryl.
