GLEN. H. Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 The last couple times out I've Been getting a low battery alarm through my head phones. It will come on for a few seconds then off but when I check the volts it reads 7.6 volts. the alarm comes on from time to time but my battery is not dead. I'm running a stock battery with a 14x9 blitz. Have any one of you guys experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepinpete_WA Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Never heard that one before mate, perhaps if you let the detector run the battery right out then re charge it and doa timed soak test at home with a mono on and run it as ratty as you can to stress the Machine to simulateheavy ground, hopefully it will come back to norm.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARGONAUTE Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I have one Li Ion battery (not minelab stock) from several which is doing this. It's on it's way out, but I can rescue it to some degree by doing what Beepinpete does (except the home ratty run out bit). This battery never had the length like the other batteries, right from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLEN. H. Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Colfax ca (sierras) is getting hammered with snow so I couldn't get out this weekend. As soon as I can get out and test it I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 It also could be a faulty power cord.Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
