    Lithium batteries

    That makes sense that they would use a switching power supply for less power lose compared to a voltage regulator . But you would get noise from one compared to a voltage regulator .Still a person could go with 3 18650 3000mah batteries and if charged separate would not need a bms . 3x 4.2v x...

    Lithium batteries

    I see they say mWh to make it seem bigger instead of mahs but they should do as well as alkaline batteries of same size .Alkaline would give you 2.500 mahs per battery or 3750 mWh yours are 2000 mahs meaning close in power but sense the discharge curve is straight and then drops off at the end...

    Lithium batteries

    I know they make a button top lithium ion battery and a flat top no protection board . The button top was just a bms that did not let the battery discharge all the way killing it .Such as for flashlights and stuff . But never did see one with a board to reduce voltage . sube

    Lithium batteries

    Those won't be lithium ion you can only have 4.2 volts lithium ion , lifepo4 will be 3.65 volts , cadmium well be 1.2 volts What I think you are getting is ni-mh which is also 1.2 volts and that includes EBLS. LTO is also lithium but is 1.2 volts . Don't know any that have 1 1/2 volts . Did...

    Lithium batteries

    Remember there 4.2 volts so if you pack 8 in the holder you will have 33.6 volts fry city . You could run a 3 batteries in series times two Which would give you 12.6 volts but double the capacity . . sube

    Lithium batteries

    Had a mxt don't remember the voltage it ran on I think it was rechargeable not sure . You just have to ad the voltage up for lithium ion 4.2 volts or 3x4.2 =12.6 if it runs on 12 volts 3 lithium would run it 18650s will give 3000 mahs and if that is not enough capacity you can go to 21700...

Got them...

    First hunt of 2024, first firearm!

    IDX is correct I would also add that even if you think your soils mild and your using a larger coil mineral still is involved . Do a test next time your there and bury a coin at 8 then 9 and 10 do you get it . If your soil is mild then you should be able to get the coin pretty close to a air...

    I am torn,,,, your thoughts?

    Pros Physically separates better than a large coil Light weight easy to get into hard places less EMI noise able to use more sensitivity Cons more falsing less depth but get some back by running more sensitivity can't cover large areas All coils offer some thing others do not .Read my...

    Me to but you will not find any most videos the people are trying to sell you something .I am not selling anything just the truth at what I see .

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    There really is no unmasking going on when you have 2 or more targets under the coil even if you get tone for each target , the tone will be wrong and the ID will be wrong . Ask yourself did this tell you anything useful on if you will dig or not . Then there is separation at 5 inches or deeper...
