Celestron PowerTank Lithium LT

Celestron PowerTank Lithium LT

Compact, Reliable Power Designed for Telescopes

The PowerTank Lithium LT is Celestron’s most compact and lightweight lithium power solution—ideal for powering your computerised telescope, as well as your other portable electronics during camping, travel, or emergency use. Despite its size, it delivers stable, regulated power specifically engineered for astronomy applications.

Purpose-Built for Astronomers

Unlike generic power packs, the PowerTank Lithium LT was designed from the ground up to meet the unique demands of telescope electronics. At the heart of this unit is NMC battery technology (Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide – LiNiMnCoO₂), which offers consistent performance and extended life:

• Regulated 12V output ensures a stable voltage throughout the discharge cycle

• Prevents telescope malfunctions due to power fluctuations or undervoltage

• Custom-engineered for Celestron telescopes—by astronomers, for astronomers

Why Stable Voltage Matters

While other lithium packs may claim high capacity, many drop below usable voltage within a few hours—causing telescope motors to strain or electronics to glitch. The PowerTank Lithium LT’s built-in voltage regulator keeps output at or above 11.8V until the battery is fully depleted, ensuring peak telescope performance during your entire observing session.

Advanced NMC Battery Chemistry

PowerTank Lithium LT features advanced NMC chemistry, which offers significant advantages over traditional lithium cobalt or sealed lead-acid designs:

• 3x longer cycle life than Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO₂) batteries

• Withstands temperatures up to 100°F (60°C) higher than typical lithium chemistries

• Overcharge, over-discharge, and thermal runaway protection built in

• Safer, more reliable, and more environmentally friendly

Portable and Field-Ready

Whether you're imaging under remote dark skies or setting up in the garden, the PowerTank Lithium LT is a true grab-and-go solution:

• Small and lightweight—perfect for travel, camping, or emergency backup

• Mounts easily to your tripod leg using included 2” hook-and-loop straps

• No extra adapters or cables required for Celestron telescope use

• Automatically shuts off when power is low, protecting your gear and the battery

Built-in Protection Features

• Voltage Regulation

• Reverse Polarity Protection

• Overcurrent and Short Circuit Protection

• Automatic Shut-Off

• Charge/Discharge Management

Compatibility

The PowerTank Lithium LT will power any Celestron telescope mount that uses a 12V DC input, including:

Whether you're an avid observer, an astrophotographer, or just need a compact backup power source, the PowerTank Lithium LT delivers dependable, efficient power you can trust—night after night.
