Which batteries for flashgun/LED ring flash

snips86x · 6 Feb 2014 at 14:33

I'm looking to buy these for my flash gun and my LED Macro ring, but I'm not sure if it would be more beneficial to get some 2300NiMH instead. I'm looking for some decent batteries with a charger and will be getting an additional 4 batteries with it.

The flashgun I have at the moment is a cheap speelite one, but I will be upgrading to an Canon Speedlite 480/520 eventually.

What would you recommend?

What would you recommend for a charger?

Get a 'proper' Intelligent charger e.g. AccuPower IQ328 or BL-700.

Eneloops are great but for the same money get two or more lots of Vapextech pre-charged batteries. Easily exceeds 2400+ mah capacity with proper conditioning, mine push past their 2500mah rating

These?

Sweet, thanks.

I'm also going to try and get the charger 1/2 down the page!

What about the Vapextech Super Smart nimh Charger?

That does sound good! I'll keep my eye on them, will try and pick em up when I get paid.

Thanks for the help, that will really make a difference when I get my new flash & LED ring flash.
