Phottix Indra Battery Pack

2
Thank you for purchasing a Phottix
product:
Note: Before using the Phottix Indra Battery Pack,
please read this instruction manual carefully.
The Phottix Indra Battery Pack is a professional power
supply for flashes with an external power port. With
the Phottix Indra Battery Pack ash recycling times can
be reduced to 1/4th of the time needed when using
internal batteries, allowing you to shoot faster and miss
fewer shots. When used, for example, with the Phottix
Mitros+ TTL Transceiver Flash for Canon, the Phottix
Indra Battery Pack can provide eight times as many
ashes compared with the internal batteries. Reliable
and durable, it is equipped with both overcharge and
over-discharge protection systems to help extend the
battery life. With the removable backup Li-ion cell, it
promises great power performance.
