Battery Pack for sb-800 flash ?

dboras

Ok, just a question to anyone that can answer this
I photograph with a D-200 and a sb-800 flash, I am amazed at the amount of aa batteries that I use at one wedding. and would love to cut down this number
is there a power pack or another way to get more out of the flash without burning up sooooo many batteries.
would love any feedback, enlighten me please on how this affects yourself and what is another solution if any to my problem
thanking you in advance for any answers

One option is the Nikon SD-8A. It will provide you with enough batteries to shoot roughly 800 pics.
It will of course mean that you go through 11 batteries vs 6. It is safer than some of the models that may overheat your flash.

Since this is a question, I've moved it from the Flea Market (Nikon Land), here to Accessories for discussion and feedback.

He's been building external flash batteries for a very long time...

i've used a quantum turbo battery pack w/ my nikon sb-800 flashes for the past few years with a high degree of success. perhaps too successful... i've also managed to blow a couple of them since it shortens the recycle time by so much.

lumadyne (http://www.lumedyne.com) also makes battery packs as does dcb (www.digitalcamerabattery.com)
