4. Power supply

4.1 Suitable batteries

The mecablitz can be operated with any of the following
batteries:
• 4 NiCad batteries, type IEC KR 15/51. They permit very
fast recycling and are economical in use because they are
rechargeable.
• 4 nickel metal hydride batteries. They have a significantly
higher capacity than NiCad batteries and are less harm-
ful to the environment (no cadmium).
• 4 alkaline manganese dry-cell batteries, type IEC LR6.
Maintenance-free power source for moderate power re-
quirements.
Do not use lithium batteries! Their higher cell voltage
may damage the electronic system of the flash unit.
Remove the batteries from the mecablitz if the flash unit is
not going to be used for an extended period of time.
