[Stan, W1LE]

My portable battery is 12V at ~15 amp hours. it is good for the weekend

from Friday's calibration/tweaking thru Sunday night.
The OCXO stays powered up all weekend on its dedicated battery.

I do not have hot/cold current draw in front of me, but as I recall is 
100-200 milliamperes.
