NiZn aren't recommended for Canon flash units. The circuitry inside the flash blows up sooner or later. Many, many people on a pro photog forum i'm a member of tried them and blew up flashes.

Just for a few shots, anyway. I'm not brave enough to do it, though. Seems to me that I can get about 4-5 frames at around 6FPS ISO 6400 Manual 1/800 f/3.2 HSS ETTL, shooting basketball at 1/4 to 1/2 court distance with fresh PowerGenix NiZn's in a Pixel CP-E4 before a skip. Using Duracell's in the 580EX II, flash tube dedicated to the Pixel with NiZn's. The Pixel pack yields about 1-2 more frames than the Canon CP-E4 before a skip. After a couple of bursts, I wait & let things cool down a bit. No sense in getting carried away... well... unless... you know...
