Summary: Awesome
Comment: The brightest light I have ever held. Very easy to use and great for Telescopes or anything you need alternate power for. Its not light but nothing someone 13 years and older couldn't handle.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good tank - charger stinks
Comment: I have gone thru 3 power adapters used to charge this power tank.
Celestron has hinted that they have a problem with the chargers, but now that it is out of warrenty, they won't respond to my emails about replacing the charger.
Good luck if you get the charger to last more than a month.....

Summary: Celestron fails again
Comment: The item arrived loosely packed, one of the adapters was bent and power chord was missing. It's almost like this item was used by someone else, returned and then resold. who knows.
The instructions did not even mention how to use it with the Celestron telescope that part you have to figure out on your own. I've bought the NexStar 8, the set of extra filters and lenses and this power pack. I don't know why but Celstron documentation on all three products is erroneous or just lacking. The telescope info was inaccurate and had outdated info from an older manual and the filters and tank had minimal info. It's almost like they were too cheap to spend the money on hiring someone to create useful documentation.
They are very slow to respond to repsond to phone or email requests for support. Do yourself a favor and do not buy Celestron products there are plenty of other qualified makers of this type of product.

Summary: Unnecessary gimmick
Comment: If you want to power your telescope there are less expensive ways. Of course this is a most elegant but also a most costly solution. Experience shows that the unit is failure prone in many ways.
Rather buy a 12V battery of sufficient capacity, i.e. about 10 Ah. This will make it easily through a night of observing.

Summary: Celestron Power Tank - Poor quality item - 7ah unit
Comment: I purchased the Celestron Power Tank 7ah from Amazon to replace a similar unit from another manufacturer that quit charging. I opened the box, read the instructions, tried to charge the battery per instructions. As soon as I plugged the charger in the 110v outlet, the charger sparked and died. Can't find another 15v charger so am charging with a 12v charger which seems to charge the unit.
This seems cheaply made for the cost ($68 with tax). I don't use it for a telescope but as a 12v power supply for other small items. I am disappointed in the unit but will keep it until it dies, which probably won't be long.
