I have my first location shoot tomorrow and I am sceptical if the pack is actually charging right now. I have checked the manual and its all very vague. The last thing I need is to wake up finding it hasn't charged at all. When disconnected from charge, the battery pack shows three of four charge level lights on at the moment, but doesn't even deliver enough power to pop the flash on a single Gemini head. Two things: Should the pack be on while charging it. The wall charger light is on red right now, will a full charge be indicated by this light changing to green. Thank you folks, any help much appreciated, Rich Thanks for the info, ill switch it to off then! But we shall see tommorow. I foolishly let the battery discharge all the way, and now I can't charge it (it's lead-acid, and all of my experience is with NiMH batteries, which don't mind sitting for a long time).

Bowens has told me that, to replace the battery, it will be almost as expensive buying a newer generation Travel Pak. I don't use the unit all that often, so the loss of it after such little use (about 20 shoots) irks me a great deal. Investing a few hundred pounds in a new one isn't attractive. Since it's lead-acid, I'm hoping that it uses standard-sized batteries that I can source myself (and fit myself). I'm not having a lot of luck with Google (and Bowens won't talk to me about it, understandably). Can anyone here point me to a resource that can help. Cheers! Chas Does anyone Know the pin configuration on the Din plug for the Booster battery. I figure it is just a 12V external SLA so it would be much cheaper if we could just attach an easily sourced external battery to power the pack. If he survives, Henry is in his mid-60s, British, and quite the intellectual. What is it all about. Well, something relating to a conversation we had in the pub 35 years ago has come to spectacular fruition, and I'd like him to know how right he was. If you know somebody who could be this man, please put him in touch with me. Thank you. I'd actually found that same link before I wrote my OP, but I was fooled by the photo (wrong product!). Now that I take a better look, I see that it's a company offering to do the battery replacement for actually quite a reasonable cost. What I've also found since writing my OP is a PDF detailing not only how to access the battery, but also how to hook two other batteries up (for a faster larger capacity pack!). For the benefit of anyone with a similar question to mine, here is the link: Kudos to the author, Simon P Barlow. All I need to do now is find out how much the actual battery inside the Travel Pak costs, and to compare that with what East Herts Fault Finding Services charges to do the replacement (I'm happy to do the taking apart and wiring work myself).Cheers!

Read on to learn about our favorite enthusiast long zoom cameras. These entry-level cameras should be easy to use, offer good image quality and easily connect with a smartphone for sharing.A softbox or an umbrella. It only takes a minute to sign up. It can be powered from a 12V battery (there is a 15 din input at the back of the unit) through a Travel Pack. Is there anything 'magic' that the Travel Pack control unit does wrt the current. It has a charge indicator and a slot for a charger, but I don't need them. I can charge the battery using a car battery charger. What I did find seems to be that it uses 117V on the light while accepting both 12V DC and 120-240V AC as power input. That leads me to think that it has a voltage regulator built-in, but that doesn't have to be the case. I will assume it does not and instead uses the 12V from the battery pack to power it's circuits and then converts this to 117V for the light.
applestudenttours.com/ckfinder/userfiles/files/casablanca-comfort-touch-remote-manual.pdf
This is much safer to assume and usually how it's done. The batteries inside run under 3.7V but the circuit ( voltage regulator ) inside the powerpack steps this up to 5V which is then provided to your smartphone as steady as possible. Since the battery pack you're talking about also has a charge indicator, I'm sure it has a voltage regulator too. Fully charged it will give you around 12.7V. While this whole range should be perfectly fine for your studio light, it can be very bad for the battery if no protection circuit is added. The studio light could easily discharge it beyond 11V which can permanently damage the battery. Bad idea. You could chain three 18650 batteries together and get 12V out of that, but there's two issues: The first one is the same as above. I've had plenty new 18650 batteries from the same vendor before with completely different resistance. What you need to take care of here is the maximum ampere rating. In this case it's 50A. What I've found about the studio lamp however says 500W, which would be 41.67A, so it would work for that. If you want to be on the safe side, get a board that's rated higher than 50A. You will also need one if you want to use a car battery. This is kind of a problem if your input (the battery) is 12V (unregulated), since voltage regulators usually need some room to work with. It's easy to sind 24V to 12V and vice-versa, but 12V to 12V I'm unable to find anything on eBay and amazon that will give you at least 500W of power. You can find out here why. Use this to step it down. Cost intensive though. B) Connect the battery directly. If you use multiple cells with a board I've linked above this could be a significant problem, as the board will allow the cells to discharge to around 3.05V. Which, times three, would give the light just 9V to work with. If you use a car battery this shouldn't be too bad, but you have to keep in mind that undercharging the battery can permanently damage it.
I wasn't able to find a discharge protection board for 12V batteries that can handle more than 500W. If your studio light depends on regulated 12V, connecting a battery directly will not work. If you want multiple cells (e.g. 18650 batteries), you need a protection circuit aswell. Your light needs 500W and I was not able to find a voltage regulator that can do this if your input from the battery is 12V aswell. If you are able to find one (I really don't know any sources, just looked at eBay and amazon) then you can put that in-between the battery and the light and you will be good to go. The manual of the Bowen's Travel Pak suggests that it regulates it's output voltage, so your DIY battery pack should aswell. If using a car battery directly, you should really get a discharge protection board, I wasn't able to find one that can handle 500W, but they should exist. An easy solution would be to use two 12V car batteries with the regulator I've linked. But economy wise, I'd suggest to get a studio light like this which normally runs under batteries. There you could build yourself a connector for an external 12V battery and you could directly connect it. Both discharge protection and voltage regulating is done within the studio light itself.

In my opinion, the Bowens Gemini Travel Pak has been one of the most important pieces of flash equipment to be invented for many years and has transformed the way that many ordinary photographers can now work. Worldwide sales have been phenomenal, and photographers everywhere, both amateur and professional have benefited from the freedom a Travel Pak can give; with it, you are able to work anywhere without a mains lead. The Travel Pak is affordable, it is very small and lightweight, and can be used with any model from the Bowens Gemini range, from a modest 200j up to and even above 750j. In short it’s a brilliant piece of kit! That doesn’t mean that you only need them for location work in some remote field, it means that you can run Gemini’s anywhere, even where the power supply is limited. In addition and as importantly, with the Bowens Gemini Travel Pak you don’t have to run the risk of using an extension power lead. Using pretty much any type of studio flash via an extension lead can be risky; apart from the dangers of having metres of cables all over the place, an extension lead can impede the correct flow of current into a flash head and can cause expensive capacitor damage.

Commercial, fashion and wedding photographers have all found the Travelpak an invaluable asset. The latest Travel Pak is now a system rather than an individual item. Its two key parts are a separate and interchangeable control panel and a range of clip on batteries, making the Bowens Travel Pak even more versatile than it was before. It’s worth mentioning here that there is still no modelling lamp function from the Travel Pak, but as I’ve said before, shooting without a modelling lamp is really no problem at all. It does look and feel much better than the old Travel Pak. Gone are the traffic lights of the old model, now changed for a line of neat green LED’s with three calibrations, 25, 50 and 75.When the Pak is first switched on the green LED will flash at 50 for a few seconds until the true battery state is measured and then shown accordingly.This means that you can now choose the battery or batteries best suited for your own application. The difference between them is size and therefore how many shots per charge; I’ll give you all the facts and figures later. The batteries themselves are straightforward and have a useful carrying handle, two small sockets that connect to the pins from the control panel and a charger sockets so that they can be charged without being connected to the control panel itself. The control panel is then placed above the battery with its two pin connection above the batteries sockets. The battery has large studs at each corner that locate into four holes in the base of the control panel. I liked the satisfying clunk when the battery and control panel came together, safe in the knowledge that they will never fall apart. To remove the battery, large latches at each side of the control panel are pushed in and the battery is then released, it couldn’t be easier. With the usual rubber grip handle, the control panel also has two sturdy rings on each side to attach a carrying strap.
So no problems about the build quality; like the old model this new Bowens Gemini Travel Pak will cope with any situation. First, the recharging times for each battery to reach 100 power. Bowens quote three hours for the small battery and five hours for the large battery. They also recommend that you don’t allow either battery to fully discharge, as it could reduce future operating times and the life of the battery itself. Using the Bowens Gemini Travel Pak, especially on location, it’s very unlikely that you will need to run heads at full power all of the time. Whenever I’ve used Travel Pak’s outside, I’ve found that to balance daylight conditions, even a Bowens Gemini 250 head can be set at half power or less. This makes a big difference on the number of flashes you can expect per charge. So don’t take these figures too literally - treat them more as the minimum, rather than the maximum number of flashes that the Bowens Travel Pak will give you. In fact the recycling times are very acceptable, using the Fast charge just under 1 second per 100j. So a Bowens Gemini 400 takes a little under 4 seconds to recharge at full power, quicker than that if the power is turned down. Using the Slow charge will get you a few more flashes per charge, but at a cost, the recycle time jumps up by about 50. I really don’t see any point in using the Slow charge except to eek out those last few shots when the batteries running low. But remember, the built in slave cells don’t operate that well in bright sunshine. So for location work I would strongly recommend using the Bowens Pulsar Radio Trigger, one for each head. Using Pulsars will also give you the complete freedom to place the lights over 25 metres away and still be confident about syncing them. The standard Pak charger comes with universal multi pin adaptors that will recharge a Travel Pak pretty much anywhere in the world. The system appears to work really well and is easy to operate.
The control panel is simple to understand and the green LED’s let the user know the charging state at a glance. I like the way that the control panel and batteries fit together and that a battery can be charged on its own, or via the control panel. Knowing that you can either buy a Gemini kit with a Travel Pak, or that you can add one at a later stage should be taken into account. Believe me, to have the freedom to use a flash head anywhere you like is an incredible feature and offers the photographer endless possibilities to create amazing work inside and outside the studio.

Although the power of the battery pack was off but it tripped the entire electricity of the house. Unfortunately after that, my power pack isnt working. When i turn it on, it turns on for like a second and then loses its power. I read the manual (unfortunately AFTER the incident) and it said never to do put both powers together. If its a fuse that is busted, can i replace is myself?. Does anyone know where i can find technical manuals for these things so that i can solve the problem locally since i dont plan on visiting the US anytime soon and it would take very long to get this fixed. The Travel Pak fuse is replaceable; my owner's manual doesn't specify what the part is. But I'm sure the folks listed here can help you. Login or Register. I'm having serious issues though. When the pack is off and charging (mains) the charger light is green indicating its fully charged. When I unplug it it says its on minimal power, one red light. I don't know what's going on. If I let it charge with the pack ON, the light on the charger remains red. So do I let it charge overnight off - potentially not charging at all on trickling green - or on, red, but a chance it might not even charge at all. Desperate. Help.

I had a faulty pak from the word 'go' and replaced it with another pak from Calumet. Some 12 months later, when I had used my lights with the travel pak and not re-charged the pak straight away, I had the same problem of the charger immediately switching to trickle charge and never getting enough charge into the pak to run my lights. I contacted Bowens directly and was informed about the faulty batch and that the problem was with the electronics of the charging circuit within the pak. Since then the standard charger works fine and I just top up the pak every few months.I had a faulty pak from the word 'go' and replaced it with another pak from Calumet.

I have both GM500 heads and GM500R heads. According to those manuals for the GM500 the TravelPak is the BW7631 kit, which includes unit, case, charger and lead (the BW7630 is just the unit alone).
For the GM500R heads the TravelPak is stated in the manual for those heads as being the BW7693 (smaller) or BW7694 (larger), though not sure if these latter two models are just the battery, or the 'kit'. Anyway, my question is, what is the correct TravelPak model for my GM500 heads and GM500R heads and can I use both models of my heads with both TravelPak models. I'm just assuming the BW7963 and 7964 are possibly the later replacement TravelPaks that will still work with both the later GM500R heads as well as the slightly older GM500 heads. Ideally, I'd like to grab a Godox AD600Pro, but at ?699 compared to the used price of a TravelPak (about ?100 on eBay) I figured the latter. Even new, it was too slow to recycle and ran out of battery too quickly. Even then, it was yesterday's technology pretending to be the solution to today's needs, can't imagine how bad it is likely to be with an old battery. You have options. There's the Visico 5 at a sensible price and there are also some 3rd party battery packs that will run any mains powered flash heads. You can use either with most Bowens heads including yours, just have to look for the travelpak connector on the back at the bottom but I'm not aware of any compatibility issues between any combination. Even new, it was too slow to recycle and ran out of battery too quickly.Still if you use Bowens and just want the ability to use it away from a mains outlet, they work. A Travelpak works fine although do note it only allows you flash at reduced speeds, doesn't support modelling etc. If it doesn't sell well it can't survive for long. Happy to be proven wrong, I'd love nothing more than to see Bowens as a fully fledged company but I don't see it happening. By continuing to use this site, you are consenting to our use of cookies.
