Help! Going bush without running electricty

Hi guys and gals,

I'm going bush for week, actually I'm staying on a farm but for me it's like going bush I'll be staying in a rural house with power so I can recharge any batteries overday

I have 2 days to finish preperations and I think I'm missing a few things, this is what I have so far that requires power

Mount either a CGEM or G11 (needs power)
QHY10 (needs power)
Laptop (needs power)
Lodestar (should run via USB to PC?)

I have the following power supplies and one inverter.

Power Tank 17
Deep Cycle 100AH
500watts DC to AC Inverter

I thought perhaps I could run the mount and CCD through the Power Tank but both connections for the mount and CCD need a positive tip, the power tank only has one positive and one negative tip.

I can run the laptop via the Deep Cycle using the inverter.

Can I buy a cigarette lighter adaptor to connect to the Deep Cycle battery and run both the PC and CCD?

Anyone have a solution? If I need to buy any extras I will, plenty of stores in the city, but if I'm stuck in a farm out bush my options will be very limited.

Thank you

Best regards.

Carlos.
