As long as 1 battery will cover the wattage required by the ASIAIR mini then there will no issues. Which pretty much covers most portable power supplies. That being said I don't know that the Mini requires.  I know when I used a dc power supply, I had laying around for my ASIAIR plus it wouldn't run the mount because the power supply didn't supply the wattage required to fully power the ASIAIR Plus. It did run everything else.  Went online and found that the power supply output that the ASIAIR used had 54 Watts. I purchased that and it worked perfectly. Bottom line is that pretty much any 100-watt power supply will work. The only question would be for how long. 

Now I don't normally use power supplies because I mostly photograph from my driveway, so I have house power available, hence the power supply. Now when I go to the field, I will take several power supplies and split the load because I don't want the imaging session to be cut short because i was only using one battery and it died.

I have just bought an Ecoflow River 2 Max with 512Wh. This one will bring me not through the whole night.
I have only some nights of experience in summer and it lasts for around 6 hours to power my AM5, AsiAir,
two dew heater a guiding cam and a cooled ZWO 2600. 
I do not know what happens, when it is colder in autumn or winter, we will see. But 512Wh is definitely to
less power for me.
