Using Your Flash with Your Cyclone
Your Cyclone can recycle in just 1 second with many popular flash units, to keep you shooting and ensure that
you don't miss important moments. With your flash firing at full power, it can power between 250 and 400
flashes, depending on the specific unit you're using. With many flash units, in automatic mode, it can power
thousands of shots.
To get the best use out of your Cyclone:
• Use in environments with moderate temperatures. When Ni-MH batteries get cold, they lose some of their
ability to supply power. However, this does not mean that they have lost their charge, and they regain the
ability to supply power when their temperature returns to a more moderate level.
• Don't fire more than 40 full-power flashes in a row. Doing this can overheat and even damage your flash.
The Cyclone has a much higher power output than the typical built-in battery of a flash unit. Refer to your
flash unit's manual for information on its continuous full-power flash capacity and limitations.
Tip: If you're shooting in a very cold environment, you can keep power flowing to your flash by alternating
two Cyclones: Keep one pack indoors at room temperature or in an interior pocket next to your body while
using the other pack, and then switch the two packs when the one in use starts losing its ability to power
your flash.
