I've got a couple of the 6-D battery packs (e.g SS150) and a 4-D from a Substrobe Ai. I've seen the advice that the high capacity NiMH can blow the oscillator circuitry in some older strobes. I had purchased 10 Ah NiMH cells for planned rebuilds, but it seems it might be pointless. Does the problem extend to the Ai as well? Is there a smaller capacity that you'd think could work? I think the original batteries were around 5 Ah, is that right? Is it the NiMH vs NiCd?
By the way, I use high-cap NiMH AAs in the old A35 and S slave strobes and haven't had any issues.
I'm curious what exactly causes the problem? It's the same voltage, so how do the newer batteries create the issue?
