Alkaline
or
Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries?
The
major
advantage of alkaline
batteries
is
that they
provide
more
flashes
per
set.
While nickel-cadmium batteries
will
provide
fewer flashes
per
set, they will
recycle
your
AZ
3600
slightly
faster
and
can
be recharged hundreds
of times
for
more
economical operation
over
the
long run.
Alkali- oder
Nickel-Cadmium-
Batter
ien
?
Der Hauptvorteil
von
Alkali-Batterien
besteht
darin,
daB sie
eine
groBere
Anzahl
von
Blitzen liefern.
Obwohl Nickel-
Cadmium-Batterien
weniger
Blitze liefern,
bewirken
sie eine etwas
schnellere
Blitz-
folge
und
lassen
sich
von
Malen
wie-
deraufladen.
Dadurch
wird
auf
die
Dauer
ein
wirtschaftlicherer
Betrieb
des Sunpak
AZ
3600
Blitzgerdtes erzielt.
cPilas alcalinas
o de niquel-
cadmio?
La
principal
ventaja
de las
alcalinas
radica
en
que
dan mayor n0mero
de destellos
por
unidad
que
las de niquel-cadmio,
pero
6stas
recargan
algo m6s
r5pidamente
el
AZ

puditindose

para

plazo.
Piles
alcalines
ou
nickel-
cadmium?
L'avantage
majeur
des
piles
alcalines est
qu'elles
permettent
plus
d'6clairs
par
jeu.
Toutefois,
si
les
piles
au
nickel-cadmium
donnent
moins d'6clairs,
elles
ont
l'avantage
de recharger
votre AZ
3600
l6gdrement
plus
vite
et, du
fait
qu'elles
peuvent
€tre
