I don't know much about the product, but Tim Simon (the bringer of the
Simon slide viewer) has a lead acid battery pack known as the "Supercharger"

The pack has a hi and low power output, Simon claims the higher one is
designed specifically for his high power "Superflash" and may damage
other units.  The super output gives a claimed 4 manual flashes/second.
The normal output gives a claimed 1000 flashes with a Vivitar 283 on 
manual.

The "Supercharger" has a 5 segment LED power indicator, built-in light
source, flash mount (cold shoe) on top and tripod socket on bottom. 

No price information.
