Hi everyone Need a bit of help i have a celestron 130 gt which i picked up cheap a few months ago.
I,ve taken it out a few times and everything worked ok.
Last night while out i noticed the display was blank but the directional buttons were working as it was slewing where i wanted.
I have a funny feeling it could be the battery pack as it had only been charged that evening and within a few minutes it said it needed charging. Hope i don,t Need a new handset or maybe a new battery any ideas would be very grateful.
Val

Hi everyone long time no post i Need a new battery for my power tank as i,ve discovered its a celestron 7amh.
Do i Need a new unit or can i replace it any ideas would be welcome thanks val

Hi Val,

I don't believe that the batteries can be replaced.
You could email Stephen at Ktec for advice.

Michael.

Thanks Micheal i,ll get in touch with stephen. Hopefully see you up in lough tay weather permitting.

The powertank batteries can be replaced easily enough. They are a standard size. I replaced the batteries in my Halford powerpacks (now 10 years old) with new batteries at half the price of replacing the units. I picked up mine from Battery World. Just remove the old battery and check the dimensions or bring it to a store and they can fit it for you.
Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the charger on your powerpack
