Greate Product beats buying batteries
Used it for over 7 hours and it worked great. Battery still had charge even though it was cold.

First the bad: the first time I had to recharge my power tank, the LED indicator never came on to indicate that the battery had reached a full state of charge. After over a week, I disconnected the charger, and the LED came on. During that time, I had a customer service inquirey into Celestron describing the issue. They finally got back to me and said that power tanks were "querky", and as long as the battery charged up, all was well.
Now the pros: It is convienient and has functioned as described in every other way. It has saved a fortune in AA batteries, and I have used is as a backup source of light for numerous projects around the home.
With the exception of the charging indicator glitch, I would recommend it.

Works well, appears to be well made and is quite flexible in its usable functions. Much better then using AA batteries to power a telescope. Has various voltage outlets to run other equipment. Well worth it!

Comments about Celestron Power Tank 12v Power Supply 7 Amp Hour for Computerized Celestron Telescopes:
The Celestron 12 Volt Power Tank is a great way to power any computerized telescope. Once charged, it last much longer than batteries (5 hours longer) and it saves you money because you don't have to keep buying batteries. The power tank can be used to power many other types of equipment and can be used to jump-start a car battery. Overall, this product is much more efficient than batteries and can be used to do much more than just power a telescope.
