A friend of mine at our local Camera Club posted an item about a new lithium powered battery pack for speedlites.
1800 Full Power Flashes
1 second recycle
Dual Flash Ports
2nd flash does not affect recycle speed
2nd flash cord provided
3 hour recharge
And it comes in unobtrusive orange (tongue in cheek)

Pretty cool though... is this more for a studio/stand'ed speedlight, versus an on-camera?

It never gets easier, you just get better.
Something new so looked worthwhile to post.

... so perhaps B&H will also have a Li-polymer version?
(Adorama may be coming with their own brand too, as they have a similar Li-polymer specified power unit for Metz flashes listed: http://www.adorama.com/FPPB960MZ.html)

True, I can find US Ebay listings too*:

I only mention B&H and Adorama to show that similar units have been around for a while (in the NiMH version) as a private label item. Reviews for that version are generally favorable. It would be reasonable to assume that a private label Lithium-Polymer version could be forth coming.
Options and choices are good things.

i have been seeing the NIMH versions on ebay for the las 2 or 3 yrs.... they started off being only available from China ... ... but as time went on as Ziggy mentioned you can find US sellers...
From the text in the link in the first post (http://flashhavoc.com/godox-propac-pb960/):
"The pack itself uses the standard DIN 45326 sockets, compatible with Quantum Turbo cables."
