meepokman said:I just checked with Jeffrey, there used to be dummy batteries in the local market. But no one brings it in nowadys due to small demand. Thus, you can either make your own dummy battery, order from overseas or try to source for the remaining dummies left over from the old stocks.
nightwolf75 said:*BLEAH*.... i was talking to the lady staff at ruby. she flipped thru her entire quantum stock book and can't find a match. she said most probably the flash too new for quantum to reverse engineer it.
my AAs are aligned in a square format. no external power cord like the 550EX or ur nikon flash. darn... does dat mean i'm screwed? i hope ur contact, jeffrey, can work his magic?? :sweat:

so if your flash have same config, no need to worry.
yanyewkay said:sure.. no battery meters then...
Anyway, the on/off switch isn't all that redundant to me. Switching the battery pack OFF before plugging in will ensure that sparks do not arc across from the power source to your equipemnt when connecting them. Arcs are high voltage in nature and may kill any transistor or IC chips. This is the reason that most power adaptors/ chargers have this big round bulge (or plastic can) on the wire near the plug to 'arrest' these arcs. It is just a safety mechanism to protect your equipment.

I think we must crown Kahheng as the king of DIY batteries
Nightwolf, im crossing my fingers for you. WOrse to come, you use a waste wood as dummy batteries just like Kahheng loh......
(then you can make more then sell )
