Great video, I just tried to fit a new cell (PS-832) to my Turbo that has been in storage for years and I think I accidently connected the polarity the wrong way round! something popped flashed and smoked... Looks like a black capacitor? next to the copper coil has blown, it's about half an inch long, could it be a thermal cut off capacitor? I really want and try and fix this, and have no idea of what the equivalent component would be, any help would be wonderful...

This was one of the best from ATG/Quantum after ATG departed from Metz. The ATG Gold 60CT-4r was/still the world's powerful flash. Both of these professional products are still working today. The issue that one may run would be frayed & worn out cable. And those cables & cap are no longer available. Anyone knows where one can buy a battery cable (external battery) for ATG Gold 76MZ-5r & Metz 76MZ-5 flashes?

Thank You for video and explanation !

great video!-used heat gun on the bottom plate-battery popped out in a matter of seconds!!

For the 2nd part on removing the battery, how did you remove the computer first if the cables are attached to the batter? Did you just pull hard enough?

This video is 4 yrs old. I have one of these that is dead. Do you have an Amazon link to the part? I cant find it. Maybe they no longer make it 😢

Thanks James!

Just changed the battery on my Quantum Battery 2. No glue and the job was over in 5 minutes :-)

Thanks a lot James! One question; On the second battery, how did you get out the circuit board assemblage without busting up the wires or breaking contacts? Was it easy to just pull out whole?

I have a coolcamp and would like to add that cargo rack to the tongue of my trailer. I purchased one but it would require welding a center piece to bolt things together. This one looks like it would go right onto the trailer, very easily, without welding. Do you have a link where I can purchase this?

Thanks for the video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Lammywalness Trendy Trade Guide (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great one off product for learning how to recondition batteries at home minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my BF after many years got amazing results with it.

Great video! Real explorer: Thanks James! I wonder if a slimmer shim would suffice to separate the battery glue from the encasement.

Any more videos on the runaway camper?

Do us a favor for christ sakes make sure you got your work flow together before putting out a video

James, for the video and the link to the truck tool box.

Mine had no glue, but the control board did plug into a socket at the base of the case inside. See my photos and notes at dbooth.org/2019/quantum/ . Excellent video! Thanks!

I have been replacing the battery for years...it just slides out not cutting or damaging the case.

Hi James, Do you have a link for the tool box? Thank you

thanks James. Mine came off without removing the bottom. I've used some waterproof sealing tape as a replacement for the glue. good luck everyone else.

How did you tie that into the 110 outlets that came with the runaway?

Hello James, thanks for posting this video. I also found this post that might be of some interest to your readers. www.warrentoda.com/toronto-photographer/2013/replace-cells-quantum-battery/ I am trying to find replacement battery set for my Turbo Z unit but find it hard to find online. I you or any ready know where to order the battery replacement in Canada or US, let me know.

I am SO glad this is a talking video.

Do these stay warm enough with no insulation?

James, The process of removing the old battery is easier if you use the correct procedure. First off you are using the WRONG tool, don't use the thick chisel, all you need is a long thin 3/4" wide putty knife (long enough to reach the bottom of the case), you don't want or need to pry the battery away from the side, all you need to do is SLIDE the putty knife straight down between the battery and inside of the case to separate the double-sided adhesive tape (it's not glue), between the battery and the case. Another trick is to use a heat gun on the outside of the case to warm up the double-sided tape, which will make it easier to slide the putty knife down inside causing the tape to pull off the battery, and heat the bottom so you can pull the battery out easier. I have 8 of these Turbo batteries and have replaced ALL the internal batteries many times.

My battery had no glue which made the job much easier

NICE. Can you do a video for the Turbo 2x2 model?

Wow...thank you for the vídeo. Today I was looking on how to replace the battery of my quantum turbo2 since time ago (2years) and know will be difficult but now with your video. will be a piece of cake. Can you inform a link with the information to order the battery? Gracias!

Thx for video, as this is what I've been considering with 2 panels of 100watts each. How are you going to bring the wiring from battery box into controller panel inside? Through the floor? I would hate to drill any holes in roof or sides. How are you going to get the wiring from the panels on the roof to controller & batters? Some sort of conduit? Also, the connections on the panels tend to be those intended for a permanent connection. Did you find one that will permit an easy disconnect? Thx.

I gotta ask is that a queen sized mattress laid sideways in there? I didn’t think it would fit

How much does it weigh?
