p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Question on Elinchrom Quadra Lithium Battery


How long does it take to charge the battery? I bought 2 used from Adorama and it seems to charge forever.

I can't speak from experience (though I'm looking at buying these), but the specs say 1.5 hours.

Are you using the lithium compatible charger with it or the Lead Acid charger? If not that's probably the problem.

Charged for 2 hours today and the charger turned to green light. Once connected to the Quadra RX pack , it didn't show any power at all. I pushed the button on the battery and got no light. I used the lithium battery charger.
Seems like Adorama sold me 2 dead batteries.

Disappointing, but probably an isolated incident, right? I hear great things about those batteries.

might not be a dead battery.

if its a new battery, u need to insert the yellow thing onto the battery so i can be charged. i made this mistake and it was not charging.

see the manual and you will understand what im saying.

Adorama needs around 10 days to process the used item return.

"New items can take up to 8 days to be processed by our Returns department. Because of the process, Used returns can take an additional 3 to 4 business days in-house."

Is it the same for B&H?

We give that as the absolute maximum, to cover ourselves eg after The Holidays. In my experience it isn't usually more than a couple of days - some times it is same day! If it's a faulty item and I have the order number plus return tracking number, it's very unusual that I can't get same (business) day turnaround
