Hi all,

I've had my Quadras for about six months (bought used) and have had some lead-gel battery woes since the beginning. 3 batteries were included and 2 were purchased new from a local retainer.

During my headshot sessions, it appears that the batteries kick into Slow Recharge mode within about 20-25 minutes of shooting or about 100 frames at 87 Watt/sec.

I swapped batteries and plugged the spent battery into my charger and it only took about 20 minutes before the yellow light turned green.

Is this normal? Based on my power settings, I would assume the batteries would last me a lot longer. Maybe I'm not following the proper charging procedure? If it helps, all of my batteries act the same.
