Practically essential for enjoyment of the telescope.

You can?t use the Celestron NexStar telescope without power. It requires 8 AA batteries. They don?t last long, this is a) expensive and b) anxiety provoking after about a hour of use. Plugging in to power from a transformer is cumbersome and may be unsafe in the dark. Charge this power tank in the day and the above problems are gone. This allows for stress free viewing, especially if you have guests.

Seriously Flawed Product

Will not power USB and Telescope at same time, a huge miss technically. Hanging strap doesn't fit correctly in the tabs provided. The mounting Velcro strap doesn't work.

Power to Go in a Small Package

Lithium means long life and the ability to hold a charge. With built in red or white lights and usb charging ports, this is a very versatile power system.

The Celestron Power Tank Lithium has so far lived up to expectations

The Celestron Power Tank Lithium has so far lived up to expectations. The red and white led lights function as advertised. Even for my tired old eyes the lowest setting on the red leds was more than sufficient to read my planisphere, star atlas, and other printed material. Strapped out of the way to the leg of my Advanced VX mount the power tank happily did it's thing. I can't attest to the length of time it can power my scope as the weather, humidity, and other factors have not allowed me to put in a full night observing. My only quibble (4 stars rather than 5) is that the power cord should have a screw on lock to fit the Celestron AVX mount - it is still an accident waiting to happen at the worst possible moment.

Take your stargazing experience to the next level with the PowerTank Lithium, the ultimate power companion for the modern astronomer. This high-quality, portable power bank is equipped with a Lithium Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, a superior choice over other battery chemistries due to its impressive longevity and reliability.

The PowerTank Lithium boasts an unrivaled un-recharged shelf life of 10 years, significantly outlasting Lithium Ion batteries with a 3-year shelf life and Sealed Lead-Acid batteries that only last 6-9 months. This innovative power bank ensures that your battery performance degrades at a much slower pace, providing you with dependable power for years to come.

With the ability to be charged and discharged 2000 times, the PowerTank Lithium outperforms Lithium Ion batteries, which can only be charged 500 times, and sealed lead-acid designs, which max out at 300 charges. This means that your PowerTank Lithium is designed to last as long as your telescope and beyond!

Environmentally conscious, the PowerTank Lithium uses phosphates instead of hazardous elements like cobalt or lead, commonly found in other rechargeable batteries. This durable power bank can also withstand higher temperatures than lithium-ion designs and will not pose a fire danger if accidentally punctured, making it a safe and reliable choice for outdoor use.

Keep your telescopes, smartphones, tablets, GPS systems, cameras, and other USB-powered devices powered up and ready to go with the PowerTank Lithium. Its compact and lightweight design makes it the ideal outdoor portable-charging solution for all your electronic gear. Plus, with its built-in flashlight, you'll never be left in the dark. Experience the power and reliability of the PowerTank Lithium and elevate your outdoor adventures.
