There is a TR-power pack that works with the 540. I have and have used it for weddings. It takes 6 'C' batteries and clips on your belt. It recycles much faster than the 'AA' batteries in the flash. You can also quick change the C batteries when they get low. It works pretty well. If you need that sort of capability it is worth the money.
