Also available from Bowens range of battery solutions is the TurboPak; designed to provide power for
up to four Bowens Esprit Gemini Units providing up to 1600 flashes on a single charge.
Similar in proportion to the Explorer 1500, the TurboPak is just as portable but
with the added benefit of being able to power four Bowens Esprit Gemini units,
so with four 750Ws you have up to 3000Ws of energy at your disposal.
Unlike the Travel-Pak, the TurboPak battery is removable allowing you to charge
the battery outside of the unit. Spare batteries are available which means you
can charge one battery while using another and then swap them over when used on lengthy or extended
photo-shoots. Turbo-Pak BW7655
