Fig. 1: Suitable battery types
2.1 Power supply
The following batteries can be used:
• 4 rechargeable NiCad batteries, type IEC KR
15/51, for very short recycling times.
• 4 alkaline-manganese dry-cell batteries, type IEC
LR6, for moderate performance requirements.
• 4 rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries,
size AA, environment friendly (no cadmium), and
for a particularly high capacity.
Do not use lithium batteries!
Batteries have become discharged or spent when
recycling takes more than 60 seconds or when the
battery check light does not illuminate during the bat-
tery test. The batteries should be removed from the
mecablitz if the flashgun is not going to be used for a
prolonged period.
Disposal of batteries
Do not dispose of spent batteries with domestic rub-
bish.
Please return spent batteries to collecting points
should they exist in your country!
