Default crash bang wallop metz 60 ct flash

anybody using a metz 60 ct flash , I have just started ,I have been using metz 45 for years ,but I wanted to try the 60 ct-4 but I worried about the battery supply problem .but looking on the tinternet the other week I saw that you could cut a hole in the side of the battery pack and put standard size 6volt 4.5 amp hr sla cheap battery in it with a little bit of the battery pocking out the side I have now bought another power pack and I am trying a small 6 volt 1.2 amp hr sla battery that fits inside ,without cutting the side out ,its working great so far .because I am shooting film only ,I don't need 1000s of flashes just some bright ones...

I have 2 Metz 60 ct4 flash guns. I can highly recommend new modern replacement batteries and chargers; half the weight, lots more flashes per charge, rapid cycle times and quick recharging. Worth every penny in my view. I got them from the auction site from a company in Malaysia I think.

I have a couple of CT60's (1 and 4) that I use regularly.

I use the Dryfit cells and have done for as long as I can remember.
