right now, they do not have anything available. (they are currently disc the vagabond 1, and starting up the Vagabond 2 in a month). Are there other alternative, im looking for something in the 300 dollar range, that can give me at least 300 flashes on my AB800.
thanks much!

I have been eyeing this one. Looks like it would be more than enough power. |

I was just going to post something of that sort. Thing is that most flashes "want/require" a true sine wave and that is a modified. as is this one.

I dig that would be the rub but I would like to know how to tell for sure at least with my strobes. That is a bunch of cheap power. |

Throw a computer UPS in front of one of them.

Hey I think that is a question for kirbic!
Fritz how would we tell if our strobes will function with modified sinewave power?

"It is also important to understand that there is no way to upgrade or clean a modified-sine wave signal. If your item does not work on a modified-sine wave inverter, you will need to purchase a new true-sine wave power inverter."

(just to get things straight here)
this would successfully power my AB800 for how many flashes?
is there some sorta equation i have to do in order to figure this out ( i feel so stupid).
Honestly, i know less than nothing about this stuff
thanks everything

I would avoid that one. It produces a modified sinewave. This could damage your lights, although they may simply not function correctly. I tried something similar on an AB 400. I had to reset the light and the power pack after every flash! I'm going to pick up a Vagabond when they get them in stock.
Check out this one:
Innovatronix Tronix Explorer
It is often recommended on DPReview. Although, I have no experiance with it.
