Note, I decided to run my Quadra SLA battery down and recharge it. Mine is about 1 and 1/2 years old with about 2,000 pops on it. Just so you know, I got 117 full power pops at fast recycle before it shut itself off.
Thanks for the response on this. I think I narrowed down the problem to one of my packs. I just shot an editorial assignment and did close to 500 frames at ~100watt/sec on one battery (let's call this Pack A). Pack B on the other hand was used at ~25 watt/sec for about 40 frames and another 30 frames at 130 watt/sec. Within this time frame, Pack B went into SLOW mode on two batteries.
I've done similar tests with both packs and all of my batteries, and I've come to the conclusion that Pack B needs to be repaired. Even after SLOW mode is engaged, the batteries recharge within 20 minutes.
Do you have any recommendations on where to send this pack for repair?
