The charging module on my Metz 218 broke down, so I threw it away.  It
stated that it put out 6 volts, so I tried using a battery eliminator
module -- and indeed, I can recharge the flashpack.  One thing I
can't due, is to use the AC power to charge the flash instantly,
as I could before.  The unit has three wires going into it (blue and
brown take the 6 volts to recharge the ni-cads; but what can I do with
the black wire to power the capacitor??)  What voltage does the dc-dc
inverter actually produce when it finishes???  Is this the voltage
I want on the black lead???  Is it anywhere close to 110???  If
anyone knows, I would be greatful.
Thanx,
Ihor Kinal
