Power your telescope wherever your adventures take you with the Celestron PowerTank Lithium LT, Celestron’s smallest and lightest lithium-ion power pack. Ideal for computerized telescopes and accessories, this compact power source is also useful for camping, emergency kits, and other outdoor activities.

Stable Power Designed for Telescopes

Built with Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) technology, the PowerTank Lithium LT delivers consistent power over extended periods while requiring less maintenance than traditional sealed lead-acid batteries. Designed specifically for astronomers, it addresses the unique power requirements of computerized telescopes.

Reliable Voltage for Optimal Performance

Telescope electronics are sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Insufficient voltage can strain motors, especially under heavier loads, and may cause electronic glitches. The PowerTank Lithium LT features a built-in voltage regulator that maintains a stable 12V output throughout most of the battery’s operating life, providing at least 11.8 volts until the battery is depleted and shuts off. Unlike many general-purpose lithium-ion power packs, which can experience a rapid voltage drop during use, the PowerTank Lithium LT is engineered to maintain consistent performance. Developed in collaboration with battery suppliers and Celestron telescope engineers, it helps protect your telescope’s electronics and supports reliable operation throughout your observing sessions. Focus on exploring the night sky with dependable power you can count on.
