The staff answer the phone and you can talk to them. They also are based in Browns Plains, Brisbane, so you can even go and see them! Free delivery too.

They have a bunch of 12V LiFePO4 products, the P12100/ss12100 may suit your needs, dunno what capacity/price point you're aiming for. I'd strongly recommend them.
Thanks Mike.
I have recently abandoned my plan to buy a small bush block and decided I would use a particular remote caravan park I have discovered and take my caravan up there on the new moon weeks this Autumn-Spring period instead.

I have plenty of deep cycle capacity in the caravan but would prefer to run my rig separately - and I've reduced that rig to a pretty minmalist one as well - just an EQ6 with all ZWO gear (FW/Focuser/CCD/Guidecam and control it all on a tablet or iPad. WHat could go wrong?

To start, I've bought a Bluetti EB70 rig. 700 watt capacity. I expect it will be sufficient for a full night and will recharge in 5 or 6 hours of reasonable sun. Again, what could possibly go wrong??

It gets pretty cold where I am planning to be - some snow may fall - they have a "Brass Monkey" festival there in Winter. That says it all. But it's dark, dark, dark.
