I have a Canon 5D, with the Canon 580 SpeedliteII, Quantum Turbo battery pack. After shooting a 10 hr. wedding the lcd lights are all fully lit up. My exposures using are underexposed, the lcd lights stay fully lit, however 'go down' as an exposure is taken. The red light is flickering all the time when on. I have camera set to cn12 to 1 as recommended by Quantum, had the battery cells replaced, charge it after every shoot. I'm at my wits end. It does not seem to be drawing power from the pack. Please help-- i'm in the throws of wedding season and don't want to have to buy a whole new pack-- thank you!!!! Diana
