The Power Tank has all of these features:

• 7 amp hour capacity (somewhat less if used in temperatures below 32 degrees F), enough for several nights of observing with most telescopes

• two cigarette lighter plug outputs for powering scopes, with sliding covers to keep them dirt- and debris-free when not in use

• separate recessed male 3V, 6V, and 9V DC 5mm pin jack outputs for powering accessories (tip positive, ring negative, 1 amp maximum load)

• separate 8’ long DC power cord for connecting from one of the cigarette lighter plug outputs on the Power Tank to the 12V DC input on a Celestron telescope

• very, very bright 800,000 candle power built-in spotlight for scope setup/breakdown and for finding your way across a dark field (definitely not for use at star parties if you want to preserve the dark-adapted vision of those still observing)

• bright built-in red lens flashlight for scope setup and breakdown (too bright for reading star charts; a variable brightness LED flashlight is still best for that)

• separate on/off switches for scope power, flashlight, and spotlight

• external 110V AC recharger

• carrying handle

• shoulder strap.

In addition to powering Celestron scopes, the Power Tank can also be used with 12V Meade scopes, including current LX200GPS models. However, a Meade #607 DC cord is needed to connect the Power Tank to a Meade 12V scope due to the difference between the sizes of the 12V DC input plugs on Meade and Celestron scopes. Because the Power Tank has a 12 volt DC output, it cannot be used with older Meade non-GPS LX200 scopes that require an 18V DC external power supply.
