Yes, I do have a deep cycle marine battery as the source of my power for my power station. But I still use the separate stand alone battery for the dew heater.
Okay cool! thanks for sharing, JT.
That's what I was planning on doing--using 2 separate power supplies--so I can get like a cheaper power supply with a lower amperage and then something like my Celestron PowerTank (probably too low, it's only 7Ah).
I know the dew heaters take up most of the power... if that's the case, Wouldn't 2x 17Ah jump starters be good enough to power everything, for say, 6 - 8 hours? 1 for my dew heaters, and 1 for my mount, camera, and laptop?
