Using the BatPac with Profoto D1 flashes
The Profoto D1 is fully compatible for use with BatPac. Up to 2 D1 units can be connected to
1 BatPac. A new D1 firmware (1.2) released in June, 2010, includes a “Bat mode” making
it possible to connect up to 4 D1 units to 1 BatPac.

All D1´s are set to “standard mode” as default. In standard mode the D1 maximizes the
power consumption to minimize the recycling speed – optimal when connected to the
mains.
In “Bat mode” the D1 reduces the power consumption and automatically dims the model
light during flash recharge – optimal when connected to a battery power source with a
limited continuous output power.
To toggle the battery mode of the D1, go to standby mode and press the “MODEL” button for
10s. The display will toggle between “bt” (Bat mode) or “--“ (standard mode). To activate the
setting, D1 needs to be restarted by removing and reconnecting the mains supply.
Battery charging
1. Connect the Profoto Battery Charger 2A to the Charge Connector [8].
2. The LED of the charger has a yellow light while charging and green when the battery
is fully charged. There is no risk to overcharge the battery; the charger can still be
connected when the LED is green.
We recommend charging the BatPac each and every time it is possible to extend the
capacity and lifetime of the lead acid battery. It is possible to charge the BatPac while in use.
3 Always check the operating voltage of any device before connecting it to the BatPac! Don´t connect devices with
a higher load than 600W.
4 Check installed firmware by setting the D1 in standby mode and simultaneously pressing the “setting knob” and
“model set” button. Firmware version will be shown in the display Firmware version. 1.2 and above includes
“Bat mode”.
