What Does Our Team Think?

“I quickly found myself needing a portable power solution after beginning my journey into this hobby. While there’s not a ton of houses to contend with where I am, there certainly are a lot of trees, and the best spot I found ended up being far from an outlet. For a lighter astrophotography rig like mine was at that time (just a mount, camera, and dew strip to power), or for a visual setup, I’ve found the Apertura Portable Telescope Power Supply is a perfect compliment! I like that it comes with multiple ports in the industry standard size so that you can easily power a few devices without needing to buy a power distribution hub or adapters, and the USB ports are a nice extra. While using the AC outlet does drain the battery a bit faster, I’m glad the feature is there as it has helped me out on numerous occasions. As my astrophotography setup has grown more complicated I have added a second battery, however for a simpler rig or visual setup I think this is the battery to get!”

The Complete Power Supply Package!

The Apertura portable power supply has many fantastic features that set it apart from the competition. Not only is this supply easy to use, but it comes with three additional power adapters, dual-mode charging, and several ports that will make connecting your astronomy gear a breeze!

Apertura Power Supply Red Indicator Lights

Red Indicator Light
The Apertura power supply comes with a red indicator light on the side of the tank to indicate the battery power status. When charging, these lights will blink and then will cease once the tank is fully charged. When in use, you can check your remaining battery power by pressing the “Battery Check” button next to the indicator light. When the AC Inverter is on, the circular indicator and the power level indicator light will remain lit.

Dual Charging Modes
This Apertura power supply can be charged in two ways. The first is with the included AC wall charger, and the second is with the included DC 15V/A car charger. Charging from empty to fully charged takes approximately 7-8 hours. For car charging, it is recommended to charge this power supply while the engine is running, so as not to deplete the car battery. You will know when the Apertura supply is fully charged when all battery indicators are no longer blinking.

Included Ports
The Apertura power tank comes with three DC 9~12.6V/10A(15A Max) DC Power Output ports with a standard 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm center positive connector. This size is common and can use the same cable as many astronomy devices like WiFi camera control units, cooled astronomy cameras, and more. Also included are three 5v 2.1A (max) power ports for USB devices. Once a standard USB cable is connected to one of these ports and the “Battery Check” button is pressed, the charge status panel will glow red to show the DC power output is on. With the AC power outlet, you can power devices with less than 100 watts, which can be powered by a Modified Sine Wave output. Be careful to check your devices’ power requirements before pairing them with this power supply

Three Power Adapters
Included with the Apertura portable power supply are three 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm to Cigarette Lighter adapters. These additional plugs allow you to connect the supply to many popular telescope mounts and dew heaters without requiring the purchase of additional adapters.
