Agree, battery might be fine for your situation.
If you start scripting stuff, it is still worth considering wacky scenarios that could damage the scope. It's not uncommon for windows errors, communication errors, telescope equipment errors, etc to cause something to go wrong which might leave your telescope in the position that it gets damaged - like continuing to track in RA beyond 0 degrees altitude because something's failed on the PC so the scope isn't told to do otherwise. So just think about it and put fail safe's in place
