If it's only drawing a quarter of an amp (on average), 4 x 7amp hr batteries wired in series would power it for a couple of nights.

Right you are. I didn't make it very clear, but the main point of my post was to point out that using a DC-DC converter is less than 10% worse than using an actual 48V battery pack (the four 12V batteries in series) and it beats the pants off using an inverter with the power brick.

Or a little Honda 10iu inverter generator. It will need refuelling at some point to do an all-nighter probably.

I'm slapping my forehead for forgetting this option. It does seem silly that after paying a fortune for the mount that I'm reluctant to pay a fortune for a good inverter generator too. I'm such a cheapskate.
