Batteries

We offer several types of batteries that will power any generation of the Lumedyne Power Packs and modular Cyclers.

The NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) style battery is the type that we have been making since 1980 and these have a 2 year full warranty plus an additional 2 years pro-rated warranty.  We buy the best no memory cells available and we guarantee their performance based on real flashes per charge.  There are a number of charger options for these and the NiMh batteries.

The NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries offer at least 50% more flashes per charge than the same size NiCd option.  The MiMh batteries have the same warranty although they are not rated for as many charge cycles as the NiCd cells.  However, in our tests over the last five years, we have experienced similar life spans from both types of batteries so these NiMh batteries offer the most flashes per dollar of any of the options we have.

We have selected high quality LiFePo4 cells for our Lithium option because these have the highest duty cycle and longest lifespan of any of our battery options.  Also, LiFePo4 batteries are much safer than the types of Lithium Ion batteries that can explode.  These cells are stronger, weigh less and have the same warranty on their performance.  You must use the appropriate LiFePo4 charger with these batteries but at least it is very fast charging times and the cells hold their charge for a very long time.
