Employing a more environmentally friendly battery chemistry than previous iterations Celestron's PowerTank Lithium 84.4 Wh Power Supply gives you the power required to run your motorized Celestron mount with the added capability of charging small electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and cameras. An integrated white LED flashlight, with two output settings, gives you the illumination you need to get to your observation point and set, and a separate red LED light allows you to perform tasks like swapping eyepieces or attaching filters without affecting your night-adjusted vision. The PowerTank has a compact form factor at 7.5 x 3" and weighs just 2.25 pounds. Two straps are included so you can either hang it or attach it to the tripod, but if you want to leave it on the ground it has an IP65 rating, making it dustproof and water-resistant.

Q: 1. How long wil this power pack last, just using a Nexstar 5se telescope?

A: The Celestron PowerTank Lithium LT Power Pack can power the Celestron NexStar 5SE 125mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain GoTo Telescope for an average of 8 hours.

Q: 2. When using with nikon d500, is the battery cover close? Or it stays open?

A: Used it on a D610 and there is a slot in the cover that accomodates the cord and battery cover can be closed.

Q: 3. What AC power supply can be used to power the Tilta Power Base Plate that will support the power demands of the DJI RS 2?

A: The baseplate requires 13-17 volts. The wall power 2 pin power adapters we list offer 12 volts or less. What can be a route to consider is adapting 4 pin xlr power supply to 2 pin lemo. Example of product pairing are SmallHD XLR AC Power Adapter for SmallHD 13, 17, and 24" Monitors BH #SMPAXLR15V6A • MFR #PWR-ADP-XLR-15V-6A. https://bhpho.to/2VGy7Ec TecNec 2-Pin LEMO to 4-Pin Male XLR Teradek Power Cable for Teradek Series Cube (24") BH #TETDPWR32 • MFR #TD-PWR3-2. https://bhpho.to/3tCQciJ

Q: 4. Will this function properly with the eh-6 or eh-6a from my old d200?

A: I use it with an EH-6 and works fine.

Q: 5. I had 2 other solutions somehow lose power (the battery symbol blinks) after a few days. Will this one maintain for days?

A: The Nikon EP-5B Power Supply Connector for Select Nikon Cameras (B&H# NIEP5B) can produce the same amount of power even when used for long periods. However, higher temperatures could cause an increase in impedance and therefore a slight reduction in voltage output from the MOSFETs in the power source used -- presumably an AC to DC transformer. As such, we'd recommend making sure to allow that transformer's heat to escape during use rather than, say, covering it with anything that might insulate it, leaving it in the sun, or otherwise preventing it from touching surfaces that have the potential to wick heat away from it such as a cool floor. Since something similar can happen to your camera (which has the potential to cause or contribute to this problem, too, even if no overheating is sensed nor warned about), you may also wish to leave the battery door of your camera open, the rear screen pulled or at least tilted away from the body of the camera, and your camera mounted to something that can serve as a heat sink such as an L-bracket, cage, or tripod. Shading the camera from direct sunlight is also helpful. This product may be mounted in the hot shoe and used for that purpose even in slightly windy conditions: Glide Gear Adjustable Hood Camera Lens Shade with 11" Friction Arm (B&H# GLLS100) https://bhpho.to/3t1BhCV

Q: 6. Hi - what external dc battery pack can this plug into? I want to find a way to fire the camera on extended D800 time-lapse shoots.Also - is there a similar solution for the D300?

A: That item is for AC not battery power and it needs an additional part depending on the camera body.The D800 uses a different battery then the D300 so they cannot use the same batteries.This is the only cable we carry for the D800 to use it with an external battery,Switronix Powertap Regulator Cable for Nikon D7000 / D800 / D600 B&H # SWXPDSLREL15 Mfr # XP-DSLR-EL15 http://bhpho.to/1mZveFz And a battery to attach to this is, Switronix XP-L90A 14.8 VDC Lithium Ion Brick Battery B&H # SWXPL90A ?

Q: 7. Will this work with the Z6 III?

A: Yes, the Nikon EP-5B Power Supply Connector for Select Nikon Cameras is compatible with the Nikon Z6III camera, but you will also need the Nikon EH-5d AC Adapter (https://bhpho.to/2PZrCFd).

Q: 8. Asked question before but said I had to log in. Will this work with the new RS3/(PRO)? Thanks in advance!

A: Yes, The Tilta Power Supply Base Plate for DJI RS 2 will also work and support the RS3 Pro.

Q: 9. What d-tap to 2 pin cable would be suitable that is 36 inches or longer?

A: As long as the cable is labeled as a D-tap to 2-pin LEMO cable, you're fine.

Q: 10. My Teradek 2 pin lemo to AC plug powers this base but when I hit the lock/sleep button the power cuts out. Insufficient voltage?

A: The Tilta Power Supply Base Plate for Select DJI Gimbals requires 13-17V DC power via the 2-Pin LEMO connection and the Teradek 2-Pin LEMO to AC Adapter Cable only supplies 9V DC. It would be recommended to use the included D-Tap to 2-Pin LEMO adapter with a battery with a 14.8V D-Tap port for proper function.
