My Battery I own a Kodak P850. I am happy with it most of the time, but my battery drains like crazy. I'm about to by two or more back up batteries, but if there is another way to make it last longer I would love to know. Thanks. Liz

Well, yes and no Elizabeth. While having a back-up power source is always a good idea, you should also make sure that your flash can keep up with your demand for recycling without stressing out its internal electronics. Others can keep up with the demand but the power sources can't. For that particular problem, Underdog batteries, among other auxilliary power supply systems, work great. Some flash units have overheat protection circuits that may the flash itself from recycling in high-use situations like weddings, parties, etc. Separate power packs may help in those situations but may not always depending on whether the flash itself stops demanding power as it cools off from overuse. See what I mean? You might need to consider getting either a back-up flash and an auxilliary power source. Also take a look at qtm.com for Quantum light products and power sources.
