I have the big purple jump starter from Super cheap auto, cost me about $185 and is 1900Ah. I could run the my eq5 for days with it. It also has a light built into it that you can take the cover off and put a red gel in so when you use the light you dont wreck your night vision.

I take this camping with me and use it as a light in the tent and also for playing dvd's a and cd's and it lasts about 5 day when camping.
As a bonus, the alternator in my car died a couple of weeks ago and I broke down, I strapped the jump pack to the car battery and strapped the boot down and made it to work just in time lol. So they are handy things to have for more than just the telescope.
