The technology in these batteries was originally developed to power much lower-voltage electronics, such as home CPAP machines. Although the voltage actually being delivered starts off at 12V, it diminishes rapidly, impacting your telescope’s performance and becoming functionally useless within about 2-3 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelestron’s telescope engineers worked hand-in-hand with battery suppliers on PowerTank Lithium LT to ensure that it does not experience this dropoff in performance. The built-in voltage regulator ensures a stable 12V output, regardless of the amount of charge left in the battery. This keeps your telescope’s electronics safe and performing their best, so you can focus on astronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to a lead-acid battery, the PowerTank Lithium LT is smaller, lighter, more efficient, and better for the environment. It offers better performance, a longer lifespan, and safer operation than other low-cost lithium-ion battery chemistries. It also offers automatic shut-off, reverse polarity protection, charging\/discharging protection, overcurrent protection, and short circuit protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse in the Field\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power pack’s extremely portable form factor means it can go anywhere from a remote dark sky location for astroimaging to a weekend of camping. When it’s powering your telescope, use the included 2” straps to secure the unit to your tripod leg where it is out of the way. Besides the power cable to charge your telescope, no other cables are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need to power your telescope and charge electronic devices simultaneously, the PowerTank Lithium LT features two output ports: 1 12V DC port for the telescope and 1 fast-charging 2.1A USB charging port for smartphones and tablets. This USB port can also support any accessories that require 5V USB power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTravel with PowerTank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PowerTank Lithium LT can travel with you on your next vacation.
