1.  Introduction 

 
Turbo 3 can power a digital camera and flash together, or two flashes.  
With 

three times

 the capacity of the original Turbo battery.  Turbo 3 is 

the most capable flash/camera portable power pack Quantum has 
developed to date.  
 
Turbo 3 uses the latest technology Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery.  
The battery provides bursts of high power for quick flash recycling, 
great capacity, no memory, and long life.  (NiMH batteries are not 
subject to the air travel restrictions of some Lithium batteries.)

3.      Quick Guide 

 
For best results charge your Turbo 3 

the night before

 each use.  The 

nature of Nickel Metal Hydride batteries is that they loose a portion of 
charge every day. Charging the night before or right before use ensures 
maximum capacity for your job. 
 
The “fuel gauge” is a computer calculated monitor of remaining battery 
capacity.  The “fuel gauge” also displays the state of charge during 
recharging.  When powering cameras and flashes, each green indicator 
goes out as battery capacity is used up.   With only one green indicator 
lit less than 25% capacity remains. 
 

To check Turbo 3 capacity without a flash or camera attached, 
press the ON/OFF button.  The LED fuel gauge will come on for a 
few seconds displaying remaining capacity.  Turbo 3 will not stay 
on unless connected to a flash or camera. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 

Do not disassemble the Turbo 3.  High voltage!   
 
Return equipment requiring service only to Quantum, or its 
authorized dealers or distributors. 
 
Never put metal objects near either socket.  Keep away from 
children. 
 
Turn Turbo 3 off before attaching or removing cables. 
 
Turbo 3 is powerful!  Do not exceed flash’s maximum 
consecutive full-power flashes (see flash instructions, or else 
20 flashes).  Then rest flash until it cools.  Note:  no limit for 
Qflash.
