Key Features

  • Turbo 3: Unlike other types of batteries, the TURBO 3 uses nickle metal hydride batteries that have no "memory." You can "top off" your Turbo 3 at any time, or give it a quick charge to get a few more shots.
  • Secure the new locking flash cables for Nikon, Canon and Qflash TRIO with the locking sockets of the Turbo 3.
  • The Turbo 3 is supplied with a belt clip, and has fittings for an optional shoulder strap. It can also be conveniently mounted on a light stand or tripod, using the optional Quantum Battery Clamp (QBC).
  • Using the two outlets on the Turbo 3, you can simultaneously power a digital camera and a flash or two flashes.
  • A Standard charger (100-240 volts) is included with the Turbo 3. Chargers are also available for many other countries, and for your vehicle.
  • After long and/or frequent use, the internal battery can be replaced by Quantum Instruments at a nominal cost.
  • To check the Turbo 3 capacity when not connected, depress the "on" button until the "fuel gauge" LED display comes on, read the power level, the gauge will automatically turn off.
  • Electronic circuit breaker prevents damage to flash, camera or battery. Turbo 3 automatically shuts itself off, and cannot be turned on without a cable plugged in, preventing accidental drain of the cells.
