In the links you posted they say so in the advertising material
And like I said, the batteries have different times based on temperature and drain.

Based on the battery tech (li-on) this flash probably has slower than average recycle time than a flash with ni-mh batteries.
Might not be an issue if you're not taking quick successive shots.
