Hi, been doing a bi of a search on here plus elsewhere and haven't really found a good answer,
So i was hoping someone might be able to help me out with a bit of advise or information please.
Basically i am thinking about running my equipment directly from the house 240V and using a converter to bring it back to 12V DC
What i am running is:
SkWatcher AZ-EQ6 mount
Two ZWO ASI cameras
Two dew heaters
A Laptop
I am thinking about plugging the 12V end or the converter into a 12VDC Car Cigarette Lighter Socket 4-Way Splitter
One of these:

Then that way from the 4 way splitter, i can plug the mount into one of them, the Laptop into another one and the dew heaters into the other 2.
It sounds like a good idea to me, but really looking for some advise as i am sure others have gone down this track many times before and have a system that works well.
But the main question after all that is what is a good 240V AC to 12V Dc converter?
I was looking at these two options from Jaycar

Would these be a good solution, or is not really recommended to run the system through a converter and best to use battery packs?
Any information or advise is appreciated.
Thanks.
