Amateur astronomers often find themselves venturing away from traditional sources of AC power in their pursuit of the darkest, most pristine skies. Achieving optimal conditions often requires going off the grid. In such scenarios, the go-to methods for powering your telescope involve the use of a portable 12V battery pack, such as the Celestron PowerTank, or tapping into your car's battery through the cigarette lighter outlet.

The Celestron Car Battery Adapter is an essential accessory when it comes to connecting any Celestron computerized telescope to a DC power supply or your car's battery. The adapter is designed to be user-friendly: simply insert the round post into the 12V input jack located on the drive base of your telescope*. Next, connect the power plug to the cigarette lighter outlet in your car or your power supply. With a generous cord length of 25 feet, you'll have ample reach to bridge the gap between your telescope and the 12V power source.

The barrel connector provided with this adapter is universally compatible with telescopes featuring a receptacle with an outside diameter of 5.5mm and an inner diameter of 2.1mm, while adhering to a "tip positive" polarity.
