Radion Upgrades and Black Power Packs

[davehead86]

So apparently there is a new power supply for the radions.
When I upgrade my G1 to a G3 do I get the new powerpack? Will the old powerpacks still be serviceable? What if one of my old powerpacks dies can it be replaced with a black pack? How does the battery backup plug into these new black powerpacks?

Dave,

Should you upgrade your Radion you will not need a new power supply. Additionally, if you are to have a power supply fail you can purchase a new "desktop" style power supply as a replacement. Finally, only G1 Radions are compatible with the Battery Backup. Upgrading your light to a G3 or G3Pro would make it no longer compatible or switching to the new power supply would no longer allow you to use the Battery Backup.

The upgrade from gen2 to gen3 is listed as unavailable. It's been listed that way for a while. I would really like yo upgrade my gen2 pros to gen3 pros.

I didn't even know that the Radions can be connected to the battery backup.
I have had 3 of the battery backups connected to 2 MP40s for the past 3 years. Thankfully in that time, I've never had to deal with power outages lasting more that a few minutes.

So if I upgrade to gen 3 (which I am about to do) And continue to use the gen power supply will the back battery still work?
Thanks

It's explained in the second post.
