I'm back with a question. For those of you who use external packs, does it matter whether the charge level between the flash and the packs is "sync'd" or not? In other words, can the flash have batteries that are, say, half-exhausted while the pack has batteries that are relatively new?
I loaded everything with fresh batteries initially, but I'll be using the flashes sans packs until I have need of the packs again so the flash vs pack battery condition is likely to vary. The supplied Chinese to English instructions were less than clear on this point...
In my experience it does not matter
I regularly use my SB800's with 2700MA rechargeables, with not recently recharged 2000 MA Eneloopes in a imitation SD8A batterypack.
No problem, as the speedlight basically uses the batteries in the speedlight to operate the functions, but drwas the energy in the batterypack for the actual flashes.
