For what it’s worth, I power my mount directly through a couple of 120ah deep cycle batteries that are charged by a solar panel.
All my 12v stuff in the obs is powered from them.
It’s all hard wired through a fuse panel and switches next to my computer.
Try to avoid cigarette lighter sockets, you run the risk of cutting power just by bumping them.
Hard wire your stuff and use proper connectors with some kind of latching tang so they stay secure. Or Anderson style plugs.
Get something with capacity. My 240ah battery setup will run your mount at full steam for somewhere in the order of 60hrs.
Consider the accessories you will be using too as all that adds up.
Do the maths before you buy a junk underpowered, overpriced power tank.

The supply you linked is only 20ish amp hour.
Your mount will gobble that up in a matter of hours and that’s without anything else attached.
IMO the price for that, you could easily build something with 5+ times the capacity.
