G'day all
For some time now I have been concerned regarding using the usual AA batteries for studio-flash work - where the flash units are 'on' for 2-3 hours and where (often) rapid recycle times are needed. My problem is that the AA batteries start to lose their recycle-speed after about 40-50 flashes & after 100 flashes, I almost need a cuppa while waiting for the recharging to complete
So this is a DIY project to replace the usual AA betteries with a 6volt large-capacity torch battery
I have made it up as an A4 page doc for printing if you wish to keep a copy

For the strobists amongst us, I hope that this is useful ~ feedback appreciated
