Comments about Celestron Celestron Power Tank 12V Rechargeable Power Supply.:
I purchased this in March 2008. Just recently the small flashlight stop working, push the button and nothing happens. Contacted Celestron, and of course they would not help since it was out of warranty by 5 months. Found out that when you push the button it engages a plastic gear, and two plastic "catches" engage the gear to rotate the metal contact for power. The two plastic catches broke off-and will never work. This is of poor engineering design, since this part is always used when activating the flashlight.

Comments about Celestron Celestron Power Tank 12V Rechargeable Power Supply.:
I use this for astronomy to power my telescope. I noticed that I can also power some essential equipment if the power goes out, so it has some great uses.

Comments about Celestron Celestron Power Tank 12V Rechargeable Power Supply.:
I have used this product mostly with my Meade and Vixen mounts. The light comes in handy when setting up and breaking down the equipment. Also great for security in checking around the observing site. I got the power tank in August 2003. It still works just fine.

Comments about Celestron Celestron Power Tank 12V Rechargeable Power Supply.:
Lousy quality. Lights did not work when I received the power supply. I elected to fix it myself rather than go through the time and expense of sending it back. Had to dismantle it, fix several bad connections, and re-assemble. Took me an hour. What junk!

Comments about Celestron Celestron Power Tank 12V Rechargeable Power Supply.:
The power tank has worked reliably and eliminated the need for replacable batteries for my telescope and accessories. The bright light has come in handy when being approached by wild animals in remote sites. The red light with the flash option has been useful to look for dropped parts or to let people know where I am. The charge holds up well and I have found it to be trouble free.
