Power I crave POWER! well, my HEQ5 mount craves power so why not go get a switch mode power supply and be done with it? But what about when you go to that special dark sky location far away from your mains plug? The need for a battery powered solution enters.

17ah

The 17ah powertank holds 17 amp hours worth of 12V DC. It’s got a 800.000 candlelight torchlight build in and a flashlight that shines red for your night vision needs. Yes it’s detachable with a build in magnet, and yes it features a radio – oh and jumper cables for your car when it won’t start. Oh and the 2 standard car 12V DC power outlets have a protective shield. And you know what, there is a room on the side of it that holds the wall charger + all the supplied cables. Now THAT is a battery.

Powertank, battery, FM radio, jumper kables, torch light, red flash light and it 17 amp hours
