Powering a telescope with lower-than-optimal voltage can cause the motors to strain with heavier loads and can even cause the electronics to glitch. The PowerTank Lithium LT uses a built-in voltage regulator to ensure that it delivers at least 11.8 volts for most of the life of the battery, until the battery is depleted and shuts off.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eYou may see competitor batteries claiming that they hold enough watt-hours of electricity to power your telescope for hours. 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\r\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\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable class=\"table-open\" id=\"product-specs-list\" role=\"table\" aria-label=\"Product Specifications\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody role=\"rowgroup\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eBattery Capacity:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e73.3 Wh\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eCharging Input:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e16VDC @ 2000mA\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eCharge Time (from flat):\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e4 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eTelescope Power Port:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e12V DC @ 3000mA, voltage regulated, 5mm (0.19\")\/2.1mm (0.08\") tip positive jack\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eCar Battery Adapter Port:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eUSB Charging Port 1 Output:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e5V DC @ 2100mA\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eAuto Shutoff Threshold Current:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003eLess than 250mA for 4 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e-40° - 140°F (-40° - 60°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eLight Panel:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eWeather Proof\/Dust Proof:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eTelescope Power Cord:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e6.5 ft (2 m) with connector for Celestron telescopes\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e50.8mm (2\") wide hook and loop strap for attachment to tripod leg\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e190.5mm x 101.6mm x 50.8mm (7.5\" x 4\" x 2\")\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003e1.4 lbs (.63 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr role=\"row\"\u003e\r\n\u003cth role=\"rowheader\" scope=\"row\"\u003eIncluded Items:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd role=\"cell\"\u003eBattery pack (Lithium nickel cobalt manganese, Li(NiCoMn)O2) | Telescope power cable (2m\/6.5 feet long) with 5.5mm barrel connectors | 60mm wide strap for tripod leg | AC charger\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eManuals \u0026amp; Documents\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eManual\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/9575\/6487\/files\/Powertank_Lithium_LT_Manual.pdf?v=1769653509\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"doc-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e📘\u003c\/span\u003e PowerTank Lithium LT\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46137492308167,"sku":"1-03-001-0049","price":104.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/9575\/6487\/files\/1-03-001-0049-01.jpg?v=1769653564","url":"https:\/\/snowflakeskies.com\/products\/celestron-powertank-lithium-lt","provider":"Snowflake Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
