You can disengage the clutches on the CPC800, so if the battery dies you can still use it. Without power it won't be as easy to manually track with it as with the dob (mainly due to the long focal length and the short tube - really small movements will be needed!!). Dobs were designed for manual tracking, so the dob will be perfectly functional even if the electronics die.
