One of my csrb+ Test/pwr green flashes rapidly with green light than my two other csrb+. It's connected to my ex 580 II ... Does that mean battery is low or gonna be dead anytime?

It also won't flash my 580 speedlite wiressly.. Its hooked to the cord that it came with but connector is kinda loose.. I have set it to frequency 1 as others are set At frequency 1.

Any idea?

If it flashes green three times ro so rapidly, take a break, flashes rapidly again, etc., then it is in repeater mode. This is unlikely to cause any issues, however press and hold the test button for about 6 seconds until blinking happens once every few seconds.

As for firing the flash, make sure the flash is not in slave or master mode (wireless settings in the flash itself). If the connector is loose (and it often is on Canon equipment), you can crimp the PC connection on the cable just a little to tighten up the fit. The round shield part has relief cuts in it for this purpose.

how do i know if its not on slave or master mode?

what cc setting should be set for the flash?

You will have to check the flash's manual. I think if it is in slave ro master it will say it on the LCD screen along with a "Z" shaped icon.
