| So its seems I am living on luck? The A1L unit I just received form Ebay
is
| working as you describe it should. I can only guess this has to be more
than
| 5 yrs old.....Is there an estimate no of flashes expected for this unit?
|
| I wonder how much longer I have? How long are lithium batteries expected
to
| last?
