Whether you have a computerized telescope or operate your telescope using motors, Celestron specially designed this product with the amateur astronomer in mind; it’s packed with useful features. First, you’ll find two 12V cigarette lighter ports for your astronomy gear. This battery is compatible with all Celestron computerized telescopes for maximum versatility. You’ll also find two USB ports on board so you can keep your smartphone, tablet, GPS, or speaker charged and ready all night long. When your eyes are dark adapted, turn on the integrated red LED flashlight to stay organized without sacrificing your night vision. When the observing or astroimaging session is over, turn on the bright white LED flashlight to illuminate your site and ensure no lens caps or eyepieces are left behind in the dark. When you’re not observing, keep this battery charged and at the ready for unexpected emergencies. You can use the flashlight and USB ports to stay illuminated and connected during a power failure. PowerTank can even help you top off a weak car battery with the included positive and negative terminals. This sealed lead acid battery offers safer and more stable chemistry compared to low-quality lithium ion batteries, and features a built-in circuit breaker for even more safety. Review: A good and versatile product. - Well, it looks like a tank anyway. I camp out a lot. As such I've grown to appreciate having a power box available for the times I'm plop-camping (or "glamping"). I used to take a jump box with me, but I always felt a little funny (and inefficient) about something with attached jumper cables. Enter the Celestron Power Tank. Yes, it's intended to support the use of a telescope. But it can do oh so much more. For instance, there are two cigarette lighter plugs (I'm old enough where I can call them that). Plug in a suitable power inverter and you have a power outlet you can use to, say, inflate an air mattress. Two USB ports lets you charge your stuff. And there is a mack daddy spotlight on it. So it works. And as there are a two terminals on the back, with jumper cables I could theoretically use jumper cables with this. I also appreciate the off/on/charge switch...it makes it very clear what I'm doing, and it enables me to keep the unit plugged in without charging it. This is important as the instructions tell you to charge it regularly when in storage. Much easier to flip a switch while it's already plugged in, instead of unraveling a charging cable (after you spend twenty minutes looking for it) and plugging it in. The light is quite bright and can angle down. I really kind of wish it angled in all directions though, as I was using this as a tent light (and thus pointed straight up) but it kept tipping. Charging this at first use is unclear - on one hand (the printed directions) you're told to charge it for 14-16 hours out of the box, but on the unit itself you're told to charge it for 24 hours. You are then cautioned against overcharging it lest explosive gasses are generated and it explodes or something. Your takeaway - this is a easy to use and solid performer for times when you need a versatile power box. It's not overly heavy as jump boxes tend to be, it has a clever on/off/charge switch, and the light is plenty powerful for normal use. This is a winner. Review: Excellent Remote Power For Telescopes - This is my second Celestron Power Tank. I had my original for about 15 years until recently it fell off a high shelf in the garage and, well, stopped working. Purchased this new one like my original and it appears to be like the original. A suggestion to extend longevity with this is to use a good charger instead of the power supply and internal charger that comes with it - it can easily over-charge the battery and render the Power Tank dead, and you'd have to replace the big battery. I highly recommend the "Battery Tender 12 Volt Junior Automatic Battery Charger" for this. It will keep the battery properly charged and never over-charge it. I think the reason most people may have issues with this tank is over-charging, or letting the battery go dead, which then ruins the battery also. I learned about the Battery Tender 12 Volt Junior Automatic Battery Charger long ago with my original and it lasted a very long time with zero issues. If you do use a Tender Junior charger be sure to leave the tank power switch in the off position (not chg and connect to the rear red and black battery terminals only. The Power Tank itself is well built and I use it to run a Celestron 8se, and a small 12V fan to reduce possible condensation that I point at a camera and lens on a SkyTracker mount I usually setup near my telescope. I use a dew shield for the telescope and 12V fan for the SkyTracker camera. I usually can get two full nights running both with the tank. And using the Tender Junior charger, the tank charges in much less time. I covered the main spotlight on the tank with tail-light red tape so it only shines red light. Works great.I highly recommend this product. ## Features - THE ORIGINAL TELESCOPE POWER SUPPLY: Enjoy extended astronomy sessions anywhere with this portable 7-amp hour sealed lead acid power supply with 84 Wh capacity. - WORKS WITH A VARIETY OF DEVICES: Includes two 12V output cigarette lighter ports that are compatible with all Celestron computerized telescopes and other popular astronomy gear.

How good is the LED as a spotlight (how far does it project)?** A: The smaller light is sufficient to see within 30 feet but is not overly bright. The LED is much brighter and useful as a spot and will project well up to about 100 feet. **Q: Is the battery of the PowerTank safe for airplane checked baggage?** A: I see no serious complications. I have never checked a psu in my baggage, but I have checked computer components along with other dry cell batteries. **Q: Can the pack be charged in Europe (220 V)?** A: Hi! I live in Chile, and we use 220 ​​volts. And I have a PowerTank, and i don't have problem with the charge. I hope my comments will serve as a reference. Best regards. **Q: Is there an alternative we can buy since these don't seem to hold up?** A: Not sure what you man by "these don't hold up" because they last years if you take care of them and charge them up once in awhile while not in use. Look for the Power Tank Lithium as an option. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good and versatile product. *by J***T on May 19, 2015* Well, it looks like a tank anyway. I camp out a lot.

Definitely better and more reliable than the 8 AA batteries for the mount (although you should leave a set in there in case of a power interruption, like tripping over the cable). I've been using it for about 3 months, still works great. The white light is very bright, and is especially useful for scaring off animals and checking to make sure I didn't leave anything behind. The cable compartment on the side would be awesome if I could actually get the cable to fit back into it - you'd have to re-coil it perfectly back to the way it came in order to get it to fit! The cable is very long, so you can either have the battery sitting some distance from the telescope or allow it slack to wrap around the tripod quite a few times. Having two cigarette lighter ports and two USB ports offers a lot of options for hooking up various electronics. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron – PowerTank 12 Telescope Battery – Rechargeable Portable 12V Power Supply for Computerized Telescopes – 84 Wh Power – Built–in 2 USB Ports, Cigarette Lighter Adapter, Built-in Flashlight - Celestron - SkyPortal WiFi Module - Control Your Celestron Computerized Telescope via Smartphone - Telescope Wi-Fi Accessory - Celestron 14 Piece Telescope Accessory Kit - Plossl Eyepieces, Barlow Lens, Colored Filters, Moon Filter, and Sturdy Carry Case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1928919-celestron-powertank-12v-rechargeable-telescope-battery-pack-84-wh](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1928919-celestron-powertank-12v-rechargeable-telescope-battery-pack-84-wh) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
