The technology in these batteries was originally developed to power much lower-voltage electronics, such as home CPAP machines. Although the voltage actually being delivered starts off at 12V, it diminishes rapidly, impacting your telescope’s performance and becoming functionally useless within about 2-3 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCelestron’s telescope engineers worked hand-in-hand with battery suppliers on PowerTank Lithium LT to ensure that it does not experience this dropoff in performance. The built-in voltage regulator ensures a stable 12V output, regardless of the amount of charge left in the battery. This keeps your telescope’s electronics safe and performing their best, so you can focus on astronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54479774744860,"sku":"wiv1787962724684","price":63.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/1023\/2604\/files\/celestron-powertank-lithium-lt_1.jpg?v=1787962731","url":"https:\/\/www.quietlaurel.shop\/products\/celestron-powertank-lithium-lt","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
