Hi, I want to buy a portable power tank for my goto scope. I heard that it is available in Sim Lim. Which shop and how much?

Thx for your replies.

You can find it in Sim Lim Tower (Sim Lim Square also got but only a few shops). I'm not sure the exact cost, but a 7AH SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) Battery and simple charger should cost around than S$50. But you need to DIY the power connector to the scope.

Have a nice day.

Hi,

To give an idea, the 26 AH sealed LA battery I am using cost 53 $$ and the 17 AH Jump starter battery with charger cost 80 S$.

For Jump Starters try Autobacs Singapore,Carrefour and Makro in Malaysia

How long will a 17Ah battery run on average with a GOTO scope, heaters and a laptop attached? :)

I did just that last evening with a 17Ah gel acid battery, on a laptop, GM8 with Gemini, and 2 Heaters. And guess what, it wouldn't last 3 hour! It turn out that the most power hungry device is not the heaters but the laptop.

You should run a separate battery for your laptop. :)
