How many flashes can I get on one set of 2500 mAh rechargeable Nimh batteries? At full power? At half power?

| My manual gives an estimate of 190 flashes at full power. No info on half power. I'd guess add about a third. Anyone have first hand experience? |

190? Seems kind of low... what kind of batteries is that based on? |

That's for the Ni-MH. That's the second largest. Lithium provides 230. It's on Page F-21 of the manual.
(Edit to add: ) Scanned the page from my manual and sent via e-mail. Hope it's helpful.

I get a whole days worth, I use bounce most of the time. (as many as 400 photos)
Weddings, events (indoor and out door), and etc...
I am currently using, Energizer NiMh 2450maH and Duracell precharged 2000maH.
And NO I am not getting the over heat issue!

| I should have specified, what the manual states is the MINIMUM flashes expected with a given battery configuration. |

I, too, am not getting the overheat issue. I figured I'd chime in because this made me hesitant to get one initially. The only time I ran into that was when I was popping a whole bunch of continuous shots at full power when I was screwing around with lighting technique. |
