Out of morbid curiosity (and also because I really wanted to know), I set out to try and see how many full powered shots I could get out of my Porty Premium A/S with the CTC lithium battery equipped battery drawer.
The answer? A LOT!! :D I lost count somewhere around 100, but to be honest I just gave up trying to kill the battery.
I'm *SERIOUSLY* impressed and it takes a lot to impress me! The pack didn't flinch; I know there's obviously a limit to how many shots you can get out of the battery, but the battery gauge never dropped below 100% (which I expected because of how the lithium battery works). It also didn't just turn off either so there was plenty of gas still in the tank. After a while I was more afraid I was going to overheat my flash head before I found the limit of the battery.
So yeah, the battery isn't cheap (well... it's cheaper than the official Hensel unit), but it's worth every penny. I honestly figured it'd be on-par on the low end with the Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) batteries I had been using but instead it blows them away. I knew my SLA's were getting "tired", but even when they were new they didn't perform this good!
