Comments about Celestron Power Tank (12-Volt, 7-Amp Power Supply):
We just received this and will use this with our Celestron telescope. It is necessary for operation away from house power because operation with AA cells is not reliable for more than several hours use. This unit adds reliability and eliminates battery changing.
The unit came with a defective adapter cord plug, but Celestron readily agreed to replace it.
I would recommend this.

Comments about Celestron Power Tank (12-Volt, 7-Amp Power Supply):
I use the power tank as the power supply for my Meade 10" telescope. It is especially useful when I have a large crowd looking through the scope because I can position it under the tripod. When I run a power line from my car there is always the danger of someone tripping over it. The large light is useful at the end of the observing session when I generally scan the ground looking for stuff that I may have left behind. The Power Tank is a handsome, solid, and well thought out product.

Comments about Celestron Power Tank (12-Volt, 7-Amp Power Supply):
This is a versatile and very inexpensive power tank. I was able to use it out of the box with only a few hours charge and it worked well for about 6 hours of stargazing and never lost charge. Absolutely a must have for anyone who does astrophotography.

Comments about Celestron Power Tank (12-Volt, 7-Amp Power Supply):
Since i charged up my scope, i use it 4 times for approximately 3 hours each, and the scope still runs smoothly. With rechargable battery i get 3hrs smooth running before battery starts dying on me. Besides eyepieces best accessory for your scope.
I like that it not only power but have all the other features that are quite useful, flashlights etc.
