2.2 Power supply

2.2.1 Suitable batteries

The mecablitz can be operated with any of the
following batteries:
* 4 NiCad batteries, type IEC KR 15/51 (KR6,
size AA). They permit very fast recycling and
are economical in use because they are rechar-
geable.
* 4 nickel-metal-hydride batteries, type IEC HR6
(size AA). They have a significantly higher
capacity than NiCad batteries and are less
harmful to the environment (no cadmium).
* 4 alkaline-manganese dry-cell batteries, type
IEC LR6 (size AA/AM3). Maintenance-free
power source for moderate power requirements.
* 4 lithium batteries, type IEC FR6 L91 (size AA).
Maintenance-free high-capacity power source
with a low self-discharge rate.
