YES.
Many of us use the old supercheap jump start packs to power scopes and dew heaters.
Anything less than 12 amp hours may run out of puff a bit early though.
I upgraded to a Waeco 36 amp battery for my CPC1100 and 4 dew heater controller and it pretty much lasted all night.
But many guys use the smaller starter packs successfully.
Difference $336 compared to about $50 for a super cheap 17 amp hour starter
But you must try not to fully discharge them and you must recharge them ASAP after using them or they will die a quick death.

Reason: adjust typo re Waeco capacity
