So it's $5 for 2 pieces of Sanyo 1700mah AA?

 

[BigBelly]

yes it is.

i dun understand. does this mean that METZ users have to use 1700mAh batteries and not any other ratings?

 

[BigBelly]

it seems that the Metz flash cannot use 2100mAh. Max is 1800mAh. I managed to get stock of the Sanyo 1700mAh as some users recomended.

Have used Metz 40MZ-2 with Sanyo 2100mAh, no problem.
Are you refering to a particular model of Metz flash?

What's the problem encountered for those using the 2100mah batteries on the Metz? I'm using the sanyo 2100 on my 32MZ, and it working fine as far as I can tell.

It might be that the higher capacity Sanyos has higher internal resistance and the voltage from each battery drops too much for the metz flash? Batteries with lower capacities have inheritently lower internal resistance which results in lesser voltage drop under high loads.

BigBelly, have you any real worlds test data on the Sanyo 2300, 2100, 1850 and the 1700?

huh? where did you pluck this out from?

This is the pattern I've observe from using so many batteries from Nicd AA 400mah to NiMh AA 2100. I can barely get 5 amps out from my Sanyo 2100mah without it dropping to below 1 volt when the battery is fully charged. But I can get 8 amps out from a Sanyo 700mah before it drops to below 1 volt. Of cos the difference in Nicd and Nimh also accounts for it.

i have no problem using the 2100 on my metz 45CT4. which model is causing the problem?

 

[Pokka]

2100 on 32z1? is it ok? will it damage the flash?

Hi Nerd, the NiCd has significantly higher load capability than NiMH, so unless you are comparing just between battery of the same chemistry, the figures are not going to be very useful.........
