## Overview

The Celestron 18769 Car Battery Adapter is a 25-foot power cable designed to connect all NexStar computerized telescopes to a 12V DC power source, including car batteries and portable power packs. Compatible with multiple NexStar series, it features a standard barrel connector and cigarette lighter plug, enabling off-grid astronomy with trusted Celestron reliability and a 2-year warranty.

## Description

The hobby of amateur astronomy frequently takes the observer away from sources of AC power. After all, we are always in pursuit of the darkest skies possible, and that often means going off the grid. The most common way to power your telescope in these situations is to use a portable 12V battery pack, like the Celestron PowerTank, or to use power from your car’s battery via the cigarette lighter. The Celestron Car Battery Adapter is the accessory required for connecting any Celestron computerized telescope to a DC power supply or car battery. Plug the round post into the 12V input jack on the drive base of your telescope*, and insert the power connector into the cigarette lighter outlet in your car or on your power supply. The cord is 25 feet long, giving you plenty of reach between your telescope and 12V power source. The barrel connector can be sued with any telescope that uses a receptacle with an outside diameter of 5.5 mm and an inner diameter of 2.1 mm and a “tip positive” polarity. *For use with the following telescopes: (NexStar SLT Series, NexStar GT Series, CGEM Series, CPC Series, CPC Deluxe Series and Advanced VX Series)

Review: Works and plenty of length - Had bought a spurious one off eBay before and it just didn’t work. May have been a fuse or a damaged but if cable but it wasn’t worth fixing. Got this one and it worked perfectly with my car battery charger from Halfords which is a lot cheaper than the power tank. All works perfectly. Would highly recommend
Review: works well - nice and long and does what it says on the tin they come with a screw thead on the connector that i assume is to secure it to the scope but my scope has no thread for it Nextstar 6se ???????? still works though
