Digital camera reviews of Celestron Power Tank
Digital camera Review: All you need for many hours per charge of telescope astronomy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this in advance of ordering my Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope because I wanted to be able to use the telescope right out of the box. The alternative was to get a set of eight AA batteries to power the telescope, but that would have only given me a little over an hour of use per set, and I would need to realign the telescope after each set died.
OK, so what about rechargeable AA batteries? Let's say I only wanted to go out for a modest two hour stargazing session with my telescope--really I would want enough power for four or five hours of viewing time, but let's say two here. That means I would need 16 fully charged, rechargeable batteries. I actually use these batteries in just about everything at home and for outdoor sports, but 16 of them would cost me over $40 if I buy them here on Amazon, or over $60 if I buy them at CVS.
I paid $49.86 + tax ($54.29 total) for my PowerTank. It comes with the cord required to connect it to my telescope. And I've used it for a total of over six hours so far--including powering the telescope and using the lights--without needing to recharge.
Don't waste your money on what you perceive as cheap batteries when what you really need is a PowerTank. The PowerTank will actually save you both money and frustration.
Add that it's a fantastic item to have even during a minor emergency both as a power source and a powerful light (and 'powerful' is really an understatement here).
