Pocket Wizard MultiMAX Owner's Manual - Battery Life

Battery Life

The MultiMAX displays remaining battery life with a 3 segment battery  

icon in the upper left corner of the LCD:

3 segments displayed = batteries are fresh/new

2 segments displayed = batteries are good

1 segment displayed = replace batteries soon

0 segments displayed = install fresh/new batteries immediately

With one set of standard Alkaline batteries the MultiMAX will operate for approximately  

60 hours. When using Intervalometer or Multipop modes exclusively, battery life can be 

200 – 300 hours.  This time may vary depending on temperature, battery type, and the 

quality of batteries used. Extensive use of back light, speaker, or extended trigger contact 

times will consume the batteries at a faster rate.

The MultiMAX continually regulates the battery power which gives excellent performance 

throughout the life of the batteries. The unit will continue to function normally until the 

batteries are nearly exhausted.

N

  The MultiMAX voltage regulation is very efficient. There is only a small benefit when 

using Lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are designed for the quick burst high current 

draw found in cameras and portable flash devices. Expect only a 10 - 20% longer 

battery life (approximate) over Alkaline batteries when using Lithium batteries.
