High Speed Sync?
Could I do a High Speed Sync with this battery?

Used with a 600Ws strobe, last for a long time. Good power bank.

Battery on location
Just got it so review is premature but Adorama is asking me.
This was great for the price. Needed longer life for a stronger strobe. My Vanabond Mini is excellent but need more. Was looking at Vanabond but saw this does more and price was close enough to get it instead.

First impression
Chose this over PCB's Lithium Extreme for the specs. A manageable 15 lb. bag. Initial charged from drained in 3-4 hrs, but then couldn't get it to power up when I turned it on. I found no help in the manual, but here's what I figured out. I released the four latches and upon separating the inverter from the battery and rotated it 180 degrees and secured the clasps. Voila, rocked the switch and it power up. Likewise turned it back 180 degrees to disconnect the battery for storage intact. Very well designed. All sockets test good with one Photogenic PL2500DR (1,000WS) monobblocs and recycled quickly with the one light. Overall my first impression is that I made a wise choice. Time will tell and I will update after putting it through demand.

great buy
this is a great buy i can use studio lights anywhere now only bad thing i can see is if you have 2 or more battery's you need to put them in a safe place so the locking clips do not brake off the battery

PS-800 has power to spare.
Great product. I purchased the PS-800 for my studio a little over a month ago.
I have used it on two shoots so far. Both shoots were outside in full mid day California sun. I was using one Elinchrome BX 500 Ri on each shoot as my key light. On the first shoot I used a 42" bounce umbrella. On the second I used a 28" beauty dish. In both cases we were shooting at full power (500 watt seconds) to 3/4 power. On both shoots we were shooting simultaneously with two cameras. The PS-800 had no trouble keeping up. On the first shoot we shot over 630 with flash. On the second we shot about 460. In both cases, at the end of the shoot, the unit was still firing off with no delay or drop in power. I purchased the kit, which includes a second battery, but I haven't had to pull it out yet.
The unit is relatively light and easy to carry around and maneuver but very sturdy as well. Recharge time is about an hour or two. Not really sure as I didn't time it but I was surprised with how quickly it recharged.
All in all, I really like this product. I look forward to putting it through it's paces with multiple lights on an upcoming shoot.
