The new PowerTank Lithium keeps the charge going for the astronomer on the go. The Lithium Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery chemistry has significant advantages over other battery chemistries. - The LiFePO4 has an un-recharged shelf life of 10 years compared to 3 years for the Lithium Ion and 6-9 months for a Sealed Lead-Acid battery. - The battery performance of the PowerTank Lithium degrades at a much slower pace than other chemistries. - The LiFePO4 can be charged and discharged 2000 times compared to only 500 for a Lithium Ion battery and 300 for sealed lead-acid designs. - The batteries will last as long as the telescope you use it with! - The LiFePO4 uses phosphates instead of environmentally hazardous elements like cobalt or lead commonly found in other rechargeable batteries. - Can withstand higher temperatures than lithium-ion designs and will not be a fire danger if accidentally punctured. This combined with it’s rugged design make it the perfect outdoor power supply. Keep your telescopes, smartphones, tablets, GPS systems, cameras and other USB-powered devices as active as you are with PowerTank Lithium—the ideal outdoor portable-charging solution for your electronic gear.
- PORTABLE POWER MADE FOR ASTRONOMERS: The perfect solution for most computerized telescopes, PowerTank Lithium features a 12V connection, 10 hours of battery life, an onboard red/white LED flashlight, USB ports, and more. Mounts directly to the tripod leg.
- SMALLER, LIGHTER, SAFER: Unique Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry makes this battery smaller and easier to maintain compared to sealed lead acid batteries, and safer than lithium cobalt batteries. Does not use toxic heavy metals.
- 10 YEARS OF DEPENDABLE PERFORMANCE: Unlike other batteries with limited lifespans, PowerTank Lithium will be your companion for years of astronomy adventures; it is rated to withstand up to 2000 charge cycles.
- WORKS WITH A VARIETY OF DEVICES: 12V connection works with all current Celestron computerized telescopes. PLUS, two USB ports—one quick charge and one regular.
- AN EMERGENCY KIT ESSENTIAL: Keep PowerTank Lithium charged and ready for unexpected power outages. The USB ports will keep your devices charged while the flashlight will illuminate your surroundings.
