I have a Power Tank and killed it within the first few weeks.

If you over charge it, it never keeps a full charge again.

I ended up getting a Starizona Piggyback power pack to replace it.

But recently I decided I needed this extra battery that I paid good money for.

So I contacted Celestron and they advised me to return it for inspection.

I am awaiting the results of this effort. But I think I will be finally getting a working unit.

Advise, if you buy one of these, put it on a timer as they are very sensitive.

Nice flashlight on it though!
