Once again..... it's just plain common sense, that if you use a camera or any other photo equipment requiring battery power you should..... with out question or reason why..... carry a spare battery at all times! And if you don't think this is necessary, just re-read all the dumb posting simply because the photographer failed to carry a spare battery! I mean all of a sudden everyone is a high tech engineer regarding the necessity of battery power, how it should work or not work and comparing all kinds of other cameras their power sources and how they work! All that was necessary for this tripe to have been avoided was the photographer in question who's flash stopped working due to battery failure, wouldn't have had any complaint if "HE CARRIED A SPARE BATTERY!" Damn it, think about the stupidity of not carrying spare batteries, it sure as hell would have avoided a great deal of dumb discourse this very day!

Look at a Nikon FE2 -- electronic shutter which requires a battery > to fire at all speeds but if the battery fails you can still shoot flash (not > TTL metering but flash just the same) at 1/250.
