OPERATION OF POWERTANK LITHIUM
Charging the Battery
1. Determine which AC plug adapter you need for
your location and slide it into place on the
charger body. Make sure it is fully seated and
snaps into place.
2. Pull the rubber cover from the charging port on
the side of the PowerTank Lithium and plug in
the charger’s cable.
3. Plug in the charger to your electrical outlet. The
adapter can accept an input of 100 to 240V
at 50/60Hz.
4. The Battery Indicator lights will blink when
charging. When charging is complete, all of the
lights will remain lit.
NOTE: If you are traveling internationally with this device,
it may be necessary to change to a different plug adapter.
Simply depress the locking button on the charger (located
directly below the plug), slide the plug adapter off and
replace it with the adapter you need.
Warning: The charger has an output of 16 Volts DC. Do
not attempt to use this charger to power your telescope
directly or significant damage to your telescope will result.
Checking the Remaining Battery Charge
Press the power button once and the battery indicator
lights will light up showing the amount of power left in the
battery. All four lights means the battery is full, 3 lights is
75%, 2 lights is 50% and 1 light is 25%.
Charging USB Devices
Lift up the rubber seal on the top surface of the PowerTank
Lithium to expose the control panel. Plug one end of the
USB charging cable that came with the device you wish to
charge into one of the two USB ports on the PowerTank
Lithium. Plug the other end of the cable into your device.
Press the Power button on the control panel once to begin
charging. A green light will appear next to the USB port
showing that the power is flowing. The charger automatically
shuts off when the load drops below 100mA for
1 hour. If you want to end the charging session early,
simply unplug your device’s cable from the power supply.
Some devices, such as tablets and GPS devices require
more current to charge than other devices such as cell
phones. The PowerTank Lithium offers two 5 Volt DC
ports with current outputs of 1 Amp and 2.1 Amps.
