Dismal Performance
I've had a Quantum Battery 1 since the mid-80's and 2 years ago bought the 1+. The 1+ won't interface properly with my 580EX II or my 430EX strobe. It just goes into a comatose state with the red power light and one of the green charged lights staying on but no power to the strobes. Also, after having the Battery 1 serviced just 3 years ago it now won't hold a charge long enough to warrant using it. Considering the lower power needed for digital exposures [compared to film] I'm really surprised that I'm having this issue. The way it looks I'll probably be junking all the extra cords and extra weight with these things and just stocking up on rechargeable AA's. With the performance I'm getting from the ones I'm currently using I'll be $ ahead.

Quantum Battery 1+ is Junk!
I have used the Battery 2 for 14 years and have a Battery 1 those are Excellent, the screw housing is metal. I have 2 Battery 1+ and they both have cracked screw housing making it impossible to screw into. Also when replacing the Battery with Cylons, the Battery will short out on the circuit board. Quantum made an Excellent Product into a cheap piece of Plastic Junk!

As good if not better than the QB 1
The QB 1+ is every bit as reliable as the ol' QB 1. I used two (extremely) used models of the QB 1. The first I had to return to the owner, the second had just reached the end of its 10+ year life. Since I already had the dedicated battery cord to power my Nikon SB800 flash unit, I decided to get the QB 1+. I've had it for about a month and used it at 2 weddings and multiple on-location portrait sessions, all without fail. My standards may be a little high, but I only gave it 4 stars because I need a high burst-rate and while it did the job well, I could have used 1-2 more pops/flashes out of it. (It was extremely dark w/high ceilings. . . so I understand the recycle of 3 flashes at a time is adequate for most purposes.

Very reliable product
This is the second Quantum battery that I bought. The first one is nearly 3 years old., it still works great but for weddings I like a back up. I can usually get 400 shots per charge.

Best Battery For The Money !
Reliable ! I bought my QB-1 in 1990, and I JUST had the cells replaced. This battery served 5-years of photojournalism work and the remaining years for various service from weddings to light fill needs. This is an excellent choice if you have a need for quick flash recovery and endurance.

Have used the Battery 1 for years. The 1+ just makes a good thing better. The power down when disconnected from a strobe is a great feature.
Cable connector could be a bit better.
