Phottix Indra Battery Pack
2
Thank you for purchasing a Phottix
product:
Note: Before using the Phottix Indra Battery Pack,
please read this instruction manual carefully.
The Phottix Indra Battery Pack is a professional power
supply for flashes with an external power port. With
the Phottix Indra Battery Pack ash recycling times can
be reduced to 1/4th of the time needed when using
internal batteries, allowing you to shoot faster and miss
fewer shots. When used, for example, with the Phottix
Mitros+ TTL Transceiver Flash for Canon, the Phottix
Indra Battery Pack can provide eight times as many
ashes compared with the internal batteries. Reliable
and durable, it is equipped with both overcharge and
over-discharge protection systems to help extend the
battery life. With the removable backup Li-ion cell, it
promises great power performance.

●
Install AA batteries when using hot shoe ashes with
the Phottix Indra Battery Pack.
●
Only use compatible flash power cords, non-
compatible flash power cords may cause damage to
the ash.
●
When powering two ashes at the same time, more
power is used. Recycling time with two flashes is
slower than with one ash.
●
When the Phottix Indra Battery Pack over heat sit will
no longer supply power to external ashes. The output
indicator(s) on the Battery Pack will start flickering.
This overheating protection will last 4-5 minutes and
after this time the Indra Battery Pack can be used
again. After the overheating protection is triggered

Note: when powering two studio lights, firing at 1/1
output levels and at a speed of once per 5s, at the same
time, after about 120 shots, the Phottix Indra Battery
Pack will trigger the overheating protection.
●
Turn off the Battery Pack when not in use. If left on
battery power will continue to drain even if no devices are
attached. Over-discharge will cause damage to the unit.

3. There are 2 power levels for option on the Indra Battery
Pack, “High Speed” and “Standard”. If “High Speed” is
selected, the Indra Battery Pack will charge the ash(es)
very fast. To extend usage time and reduce load intensity
of the Battery Pack, please use Standard output power
level unless faster recharge times are required. (See
picture 11)
USB Powering
The 5V output USB port can be used to charge mobile
devices, such as tablets, smartphones and media players.
If no device is connected to the USB port, there will be no
output from the USB output. If an external mobile device
is connected and charging, the USB indicator will light
red. When fully charged, the USB indicator will turn o.
