Description
The Celestron Powertank Lithium LT is a stable power source designed for telescopes. It uses Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide or NMC technology, which delivers a steady charge over long periods and requires less maintenance than a traditional sealed lead-acid battery. This power pack was designed specifically for astronomers, and it uses a built-in voltage regulator to ensure that it delivers at least 11.8 volts for most of the life of the battery.
Stable Power Designed for Telescopes
The Celestron Powertank Lithium LT is built with Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide [LiNiMnCoO2] or NMC technology, which delivers a steady charge over long periods and requires less maintenance than a traditional sealed lead-acid battery.
Unlike other lithium-ion power packs in this price range, the PowerTank Lithium LT was designed for astronomers by astronomers-specifically for the unique needs of computerized telescopes.
Telescope electronics are very sensitive to voltage. 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.
