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\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOUTPUT CURRENT FOR TELESCOPE: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12V DC @ 3A\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOUTPUT FOR USB DEVICES: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5V DC @ 1A and 5V DC @ 2.5A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\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.
