Default Battery for Metz 45 CT-1 Flashlight

Recently, Steven Woody posted:

metz 45 ct-1 requires 6 AA batteries. how many times of full output
can these batteries provide? i guess it will cost a lot of money in
long use. i am considering buy some rechargable batteries for it, but
i am not certain these kind of batteries can provide same power as
normal AA. any advice?

The "right decision" depends a lot on how you use the flash. If you use it
to shoot several rolls of film per day, then rechargeables are the way to
go. BTW - rechargeable NiCads deliver a *lot* more power than alkaline
batteries, but what you'll experience is faster recycle times, not more
light. If you shoot a roll of film once a month, then non-rechargeable
AA's are the way to go.
