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.
