Everything you need to know about the Breakthrough Turbo Battery - Frequently Asked Questions

Jan xv, 2022

Q: How long does my Quantum battery last?

A: All batteries will eventually go nether no matter what they are...its just a matter of when. If the Quantum batteries are constantly used and recharged on a daily ground they will last a year. If they are casually used and ideally stored when non in use they volition terminal 4-v years.

One exception to the "all batteries" I believe is these Sanyo Eneloops which I accept had for 4 years and however going strong and in use today;)

Q: What is "ideal storage"?

A: The battery should be fully charged at all times. Every 3 months the battery should exist charged, completely drained and then charged again to total capacity. Every calendar month the battery should be charged to full capacity. Before and after every use the battery should exist fully charged.

Q: What is the nearly ideal Breakthrough battery in your opinion?

A: Nicdlady.com now sells 2400mah Imedion and 2700mah FDK (formerly Sanyo) inserts for the Turbo SC giving it more juice then the original cells in there. The Imedions are non Sanyo Eneloops, but their endurance is far greater then garden multifariousness NIMH cells. The Imedions would probably terminal several wedding ceremony seasons. Batteries Plus can create a battery pack for the Turbo SC same mean solar day if you really demand it at present. Since the Turbo SC is and then compact and semi-user serviceable I would say the Turbo SC is the 1 to go and I would go the Imedion insert cells from nicdlady.com. The Imedions practice non self-discharge similar regular NIMH and are comparable to the Eneloops. The Imedions will last several wedding seasons if they are similar to the Eneloops.

The Original Turbo Bombardment is 100% user serviceable and the cell goes for $fifteen give or take on Amazon or Ebay. That prison cell is the Powersonic PS-832. The problem is the original turbo is a brick, heavy and beefy. The PS-832 tin can also be constitute at Batteries Plus store.

The Turbo 2x2 and Turbo three are not user serviceable meaning yous have to ship it in which might mean i month to get information technology dorsum from Quantum. NICDLADY.COM might be shorter, but basically you still have to ship it in. And so if your Turbo 2x2 or Turbo 3 goes out during the wedding season you are stuck. Those NIMH cells inside will terminal i-2 heavy nuptials seasons.

A comparison of power:

Turbo SC with original 1600mah cells from manufacturing plant= 400 full ability shoe mounted flashes

Turbo SC with FDK 2700mah cells= 675 full ability shoe mounted flashes

Turbo SC with Imedion 2400mah= 600 full ability shoe mounted flashes

Original Breakthrough Turbo Battery= 500 full power shoe mounted flashes

Turbo 2x2= 700 full ability shoe mounted flashes

Turbo iii= 1050 full power shoe mounted flashes

My personal experience is the Turbo 2x2 will final through most events. Heavier longer events volition require you to swap out with a fill-in pack. The Turbo 3 should last through all events. Using either the Turbo SC or Original QTB will require you to switch to a backup pack during some of the heavier events.

My personal favorite would be the Turbo SC with the Imedion 2400mah cell insert from NICDLADY.COM and I would take every bit a backup the Original Quantum Turbo Battery.

Q: I am having a problem with my battery, what is the first matter I should do?

A: The first thing is to accuse, discharge the battery by hooking a flash to it and let it sit, and charge. Repeat this for 3 cycles. If this does not clear up the problem you will have to ship it in to Quantum and wait almost a two-4 week wait to get your gear dorsum.

Q: I saw this battery on Ebay or Amazon used. Should I go information technology?

A: There is a reason why its being sold is because the pack started to act weird. They are selling and replacing it with a new pack. The pack you are getting will have to exist re-celled or may even need more extensive repairs.

Q: What are the prices for recelling?

A: Quantum has the virtually premium rates listed on their website. NICDLADY is cheaper.

Q: Is it hard to open up the packs to recell yourself?
A: The Turbo 2x2 and Turbo SC are very hard. The Original QTB and Turbo SC much easier with just a few screws. Open whatsoever pack very gently non forcing annihilation otherwise it will break something. I have broken a few packs opening them too hard.

Re: Everything you lot need to know about the Quantum Turbo Battery - Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know when its not working?

I have had my 2 x two for a few years, probably at least five.
Used it in weddings for a couple of years, so its had a bit of utilize. Nigh a couple of years ago the leads failed then I stopped using it. Its sat for a couple of years, charged information technology one time a year!
Now i have bought spare leads, im not certain information technology working?

Charged up in about 2 hours, information technology still had ane greenish charge light when plugged in.
All 4 charge lights are on, atomic number 82 connected to Sb910 and firing abroad. Merely I deceit meet any sign that the pack is actually doing anything? I seem to remember if using on say 4fps continuos the green lights would wink or dip from 4 to 3 with heavey employ, At present nothing, but constant 4 lights?
Occasionally the orange light that shows if either port "A" or "B" has the lead plugged in flashes quickly, this I doubtable is some sort of error warning?

Whatever ideas?

Hi Pieman

based on my experience with Quantum Turbo batteries, yous can not replace the batteries itself, you might want to send it for repair, this is their procedure too, I did this in the by and yep, that is the way they work, I don't know but peradventure they supervene upon some parts like capacitors or something

I also accept unused Turbo 2x2 and the same

Also, Godox Propac PB960 volition die also, you use it for several years and battery dies and the head volition die soon, don't know why just it happens

Don't waste your time with it, just go a new Godox Propac PB960 to replace your Quantum Turbo 2x2, it might not as fast as 2x2 just it works

Laowa has just announced a new 20mm shift lens, and we were able to put it through its paces in downtown Calgary.

Rotolight's new NEO three and AEOS two lights may be more than powerful than their predecessors, but they go 1 footstep further, providing millions of colorful lighting options via a touchscreen display.

The new Sony 16-35mm F4 PZ is obviously an interesting selection for video piece of work, but we think information technology's a solid choice for photographers besides.
