James, Have you tried the Quantum Turbo Z? This is the one I am using. If you can live with the lower capacity then this might be what you are looking for. I have rented the Turbo before but I did not need that high a capacity and did prefer the compactness and "lightness" of the Turbo Z. Recharge time seemed to be the same, though I did not do a direct comparison. I just saw some advertising about a new battery pack from some other company that allows you to exchange the battery and has some other additional features that the Turbo Z doesn't have. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the unit but I believe it was in the Outdoor Photographer maybe in the Jan or Feb issue.
