FAQs
How long does a full charge typically last?
The runtime depends heavily on the power output used and the number of flashes. A fully charged 72 Wh battery can provide a significant number of flashes at moderate power levels, allowing for extended shooting sessions. Refer to the Siros L manual for specific flash count estimates at various power settings.
What is the charge time for this battery?
Charge time varies depending on the charger used and the remaining battery level. Consult the specifications for your Broncolor charger for precise charge times.
Can I use a third-party charger?
It is strongly recommended to use only the official Broncolor charger designed for this specific battery to ensure safety and optimal charging performance.
How should I store the battery when not in use?
Store the battery in a cool, dry place, ideally at around 40-60% charge if storing for an extended period (several months). Avoid extreme temperatures.
What is the expected lifespan of this battery?
Lithium-ion batteries have a finite lifespan, typically measured in charge cycles. With proper care, this battery should provide reliable performance for several hundred charge cycles before noticeable degradation.
Is this battery compatible with the Broncolor Move 1200 L?
No, this battery is specifically designed for the Broncolor Siros L flash heads. Compatibility is limited to that product line.
Troubleshooting
Battery not recognized by Siros L
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and fully seated. Check if the battery terminals are clean. Try a different, known-good battery to confirm if the issue is with the battery or the flash unit.
Flash unit not powering on with battery
Verify the battery is charged. Check the battery level indicator. If the battery is depleted, charge it fully before attempting to power the unit again.
Reduced runtime compared to previous use
Lithium-ion batteries degrade over time. If the battery is old and has undergone many charge cycles, its capacity may be reduced. Consider replacing the battery if performance is significantly diminished.
Battery does not charge
Ensure you are using the correct Broncolor charger. Check that the charger is properly connected to both the battery and a working power outlet. Clean the charging contacts on both the battery and the charger.
