I use this battery pack with my Nikon SB-800 and SB-900 flashes. It's worked great for me so far. Recycle time about 1 sec as advertised. I bought this to go along with my Quantum Turbo 3 and save me some money over the Quantum. Very happy with my purchase.

Comments about Bolt Cyclone Battery Pack for Camera Flash (with Charger):
My power pack is used to photograph toddlers and young children.It is a real life saver when you need close to "0" seconds to get the next shot. We all know that kids move fast, and the faster we can get off the next shot the better our chance of getting a stellar session with our subject.I don't want to sound like a commercial for Bolt Cyclone power packs, but they get the job done, by removing a known problem... running short on power for your on camera Flash.At a price point of [$] it's quite possibly the the least expensive piece of gear in your kit.
