Re: [OM] E**y flashes

I didn't think so which is why I didn't bother with the link.  But if 
you'd like to make up your own mind see here for the T-45

and here for the charger which he also has

See the last photo and comment on the T-45 page which points out that 
there is no battery pack.  The only other way to power a T-45 that I 
know of is to use the F.AC Adapter 2.

Actually, no.  Dr. Flash just reminded me that you can power it with a 
high voltage pack like the Quantum Turbo Battery with NiMH pack or the 
older model with lead acid battery.  I've never owned a T-45 but I 
assume that it is like the T-32 which does not require any internal 
batteries when it's powered by a high voltage pack.  That's unusual.

or use its much cheaper clone (the SP Systems Power Pack available from 
B&H) as I have advertised many times here before.  Price is even lower 
now but the unit is not in stock supposedly until July.  Maybe because 
the importer is going through a consolidation with another company.(?)

Either one of these three solutions will require a Quantum CO3 cable 
which is used to power a T-32 or T-45.

I have two of them which I got for about $20 each on ebay.
