Acute 2R - Battery power problem

[mearle_gates]

Hmmm. I've got my new portable battery power set-up operating nicely with my Profoto Acute 2R outfit, albeit with

recycle lag, but the real issue I have now is that the generator will not "learn" my pocket wizard channel during

startup when it's running from the battery. It's fine on a wall outlet.

 

The only solution seems to be using the sync cord while on battery power, or plugging a pocket wizard in via the

sync cord outlet - which pretty much defeats the purpose of having the built in pocket wizard.

 

Somehow even with a 600W pure sine wave inverter the battery is not giving the startup current necessary to power

up the learning mode correctly. I'm using a new freshly charged 18 Ah deep cycle battery.

 

Anyone have a solution?
