It’s good to have high milliamp Ni-Mh Battery, I use 2500mAh and they can refresh the flash very fast, another thing that helps is to turn the power down on the flash if you can you don’t need full power when your doing macro work.
Bear in mind too that most rechargable batteries loose significant amounts of charge while standing idle. Newer low self discharge types are MUCH better for intermittant use. NiMH batteries can often loose over 10% of their charge in a month, whilst doing nothing.
