I feel comfortable with GODOX flashes, inexhaustible battery

The only complaint I have about Godox (Flashpoint) is that they are not weather sealed. My little Flashpoint speedlight feels cheap compaired to the Canon's I owned, but it is a far different story with the AD200s and the 600 pro.I feel comfortable with GODOX flashes, inexhaustible battery
What's the problem with Li-ion AA batteries?
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries AA size are 3,6 volts each unit, and not suitable for flash designed for 4x1.5 volts.
No, I don't use one. The photo is from Adorama. Just showing that one would not need a six way. I have two chargers for my two AD200's which came with the lights, 1 speedlight with a lion battery and charger that also came with it, and the battery and charge setup for the Xplor 600 Pro (Just a cord that plugs into the battery and into the wall. None of these needs to be charged after each shoot. I probably charge every 4 or 5 shoots since a shoot for me only goes between 50-150 shots. I almost never use more than two lights at once. The speedlight is only ever used indoors or at night. I never have to charge all the batteries, but if I did my place has more than one outlet. No splitter needed.So you do use a six-way battery charger. As you said, whatever works for you.
Lp-E6 is not high drain battery. One of Nissin uses 14500 cells and you can get high drain IMR/IFR cells which are much more useful for something than can keep up with high fps cameras.I wish that they would make a flash that took the LP-6 batteries!
Which then makes it even longer to change out a set during the "heat of battle". Single rechargeable batteries are much easier to deal with, much quicker to change on the fly, simpler to recharge, etc.Positive side in for fresh, out for spent. Easy.

No doubt about it. If you begin battle with freshly charged AA batteries (with or without an external pack) and they won't make it till the end, then you need Li-Ion battery packs. My solution is for more subdued use by folks who don't want to invest in proprietary packs.Which then makes it even longer to change out a set during the "heat of battle".

Antonio, do you really want to put so fine a point on it? Go back and look at your post. You first mentioned a six outlet that is plugged into a two outlet. Then you mentioned a 6 way charger. My gosh, man. BTW: It isn't inconvenient for me. I don't know why you want to belabor this. I've already said that I know what I like for me. You know what you like for you. Go have a beer, dude.I would call this a six way charger.
And having multiple chargers is somehow better? Standardization is considered good for a good reason.
The only reason I would use more than one outlet is if it saved time on charging, but to each his own.

You win. I submit. It would be more convenient to mount 6 speed lights onto 2 triple threats inside a 72" umbrella, than it is to just use a single 600ws mono light. Don't know what I was thinking. Charging is a real biotch too.... what with plugging it in. Very time consuming. Thanks! Have a great day, Antono.Its Antono, without an i. You may quit whenever convenient for you.
I know what I wrote.
Beer, like tobacco, is an acquired taste, which is why I prefer rum, cognac, and whiskey.
New LEDs are much more efficient, leading to much less heat. Advances made over the past few years, have made a big difference. As an everyday product, for example, new LED bulbs no longer have big heat sinks. We’re getting 80 lumens per watt for even cheap product, and up to 120 lumens per watt for more expensive ones. As a reference, the best screw-in fluorescent bulbs are, at most 70 lumbers per watt, and as low as 40.LEDs for continuous video lighting gets very hot. Cluster of many small LED chips doesn't get that hot , but not powerful. So Canon might use high watt big LED chip which gets pretty hot. When I experimented, 12v 10W chip gets very very hot even when lighted for a minute, but very bright.
