SB80 & Quantum Turbo

Jim Marks · Oct 20, 2002

Does anyone use the Quantum Turbo battery to power their SB80 flash. The Quantum web site said it can be done using a CKE cable. I ordered the cable and I can't figure how it connects to the flash.

What am I missing??? Thanks in advance.

There's a black plastic cap that says "Nikon" on the front face of the unit. It's in between the hotshoe and AF illuminator. You remove the cap and plug in the high voltage cable. I use a Turbo Battery with my SB28-DX and they work well together.

Remember that if you want less than 3 sec recycle times you need the Quantum Turbo AND either lithiums or NiMH in the flash according to Thom Hogan:
