Heath,

I've used something like the basic jump starter successfully with my EQ6 before however I tend to use a 240/12V converter and mains power these days. Those jump starters don't like to be left for any length of time without charging up and I doubt the 17Ahr battery will be sufficient to drive the mount, dew heaters and a cooled CCD for any period of time.

Hope this helps!

Peter
