Celestron's PowerTank is a tough and small power source. You can track, swipe, and take pictures. It gives you tools and a telescope, and mounts a steady 12V power supply. With the PowerTank, your gear will work better, and your night vision will be safe. Cable chaos can happen when many things, like guide cameras, filter wheels, and focusers, need to connect to your laptop or mount. This is where the Apertura Armored USB Hub comes in. It gives your imaging rig smart access while also being durable and well-organized.

Featured Product 3
While observing astronomy away from grid electricity, you can keep your Meade LXPS 18 Lithium Portable Power Supply charged with the 50-watt foldable solar panel system. It has a long lifespan and excellent efficiency thanks to its four 12.5W monocrystalline panels. The charger weighs about 5 pounds when folded, and it folds down to a compact 355 x 290 x 25 mm when unfolded, with dimensions of 1365 x 355 x 4 mm. A one-meter cord featuring a DC5521 connector links the charger to the LXPS 18.
Featured Product 4
Up to 20 Amps of power can be sent by the Pegasus Astro Ultimate Powerbox v3. You can connect a wire (USB) or use Wi-Fi to communicate with it. It has eight 12-volt power outlets, three RCA dew heater plugs, eight USB ports, and a two-output processor that can handle being shaken around a lot. It is safe from both too much power and short circuits thanks to smart Mosfet transistors.
Featured Product 5
Astronomers may easily protect their equipment against dew buildup with the Astrozap Simple DC Adapter (AZ-719). It can be hooked up to a 12V DC outlet and provides Astrozap dew heater straps or Flexi-Heat® dew shields with unregulated electricity. Nevertheless, compared to controlled controllers, it might use more electricity.
More About This Category
Celestron PowerTanks are portable rechargeable power supplies for use with astronomical equipment. Essentially, they are external battery packs that use sealed lead-acid or lithium phosphate batteries to provide DC and sometimes USB power to telescopes, mounts, and accessories. Unlike regular power banks meant for phones or tablets, PowerTanks are tailored to meet the specific power demands of astronomical gear. They often include 12V DC cigarette lighter ports, USB outputs, built-in flashlights, red LED lights, and emergency features such as sirens or jump-start capabilities for vehicles.
Offering several output ports, lighting features, and compatibility with Celestron and other well-known telescope brands, the Celestron PowerTank is a small, rechargeable power source designed for astronomy equipment. While Celestron leads with user-friendly options, other trusted brands like Pegasus Astro, Meade, and Orion also offer powerful solutions, ranging from advanced battery systems to power distribution hubs, giving astronomers flexibility based on their setup and observing needs.
The Celestron PowerTank Lithium LT is a compact, lightweight, and efficient portable power solution designed specifically for powering computerized telescopes and charging small electronic devices during field observations. Utilizing a 73.3 Wh lithium nickel cobalt manganese (Li(NiCoMn)Oâ‚‚) battery, it offers a regulated 12V DC output at 3A, ensuring consistent voltage throughout the charge cycle, which is crucial for the optimal performance of sensitive telescope electronics.
Astronomers will appreciate the Celestron PowerTank Lithium, a compact rechargeable power source. A 12V DC output at 3A is ideal for running Celestron computerized telescopes. The PowerTank Lithium also features two 5V USB ports for charging other electrical devices like tablets, smartphones, and cameras. Two adjustable brightness LED lights, one white and one red, come with the device to help with setup and preserve night vision while you observe.
What makes these power sources essential for astronomers? The answer lies in the mobility and reliability they provide. Many GoTo telescope mounts, including those from Celestron, Meade, and Sky-Watcher, require consistent 12V power to operate tracking motors and electronic control systems. When stargazing away from home, perhaps at a dark-sky site or a remote observatory, there’s often no access to an AC power outlet. Traditional alkaline or disposable batteries are insufficient for long sessions and usually drain quickly under heavy use. A Celestron PowerTank offers unlimited, uninterrupted power in a compact and easily portable package, ensuring your session isn’t cut short by losing control.
Another vital use for PowerTanks is in powering dew prevention equipment. Dew is a common issue during night observations, forming on optics and ruining views. Dew heaters are often attached to the optical tube and powered by the same 12V source. Without a capable external power supply, these heaters cannot run all night. PowerTanks with sufficient capacity can run the telescope and dew prevention systems simultaneously, keeping optics clear and functional throughout the session.
