SOLD
I have for sale my Quantum Instruments Qflash T5D-R TTL Flash with Turbo 3 Rechargeable Battery Kit as purchased from B&H Photo back in July of 2010 (yeah, barely 6 months old here).
Everything is basically as new. I've used the kit like 3 or 4 times but that's it. It all works flawlessly, but I've ended up not really needing it for my uses. So, the whole kit is for sale. (There are additional connectors that can be purchased to use the battery to supply power to cameras and other off camera lighting as well.)
This is a link to the exact kit I bought from B&H :
