GOLDBUG DP with 9.8 Volt Litium battery?
- Thread starter sultan

I used them, or tried to use them, in several different detector models that use the typical 9V battery, such as most Tesoro's, White's Prism and Coinmasters, Teknetics Omega, Delta and G2. The results were interesting.
I almost always rely on a quality alkaline battery. I had two concerns with the Lithium Ion batteries. One was that I usually got a little less run-time with them than I did with a few different alkaline brands. The biggest problem I had with them is that their physical package size was just a tiny bit larger than a carbon-zine, heavy-duty or alkaline battery and the result was that they either didn't fit easily in the battery space, or, they were quite snug, if they did get pushed in, and were difficult to remove.
My opinion is that until a better size and operating Lithium battery comes along, I'll stick with what works. Quality alkaline batteries.

Dear Monte, dear chakra22
I run my GOLDBUG with ULTRALIFE LITHIUM BATTERYS for a while and my experiencies are very good! The battery fitts perfectly, it is only a little, very little bit longer than a normal ALKALINE battery. But it lasts much longer than any alkaline battery! I have tried a new ENERGIZER alkaline first and i had to replace it after about 25 hours. From then I used the ULTRALIFE (an American product, not chinese....) and the first battery lasts now for more than 40 hours and there are two third of the battery display left. So I expect at least 60 hours working time with this LITHIUM. I was able to get 10 of these batteries for a cheap price at EBAY in Germany and i must say it was worth to buy them, cause for me it is important to leave as little electronic litter as possible. When i have used this batteries I will buy lithium rechargeables if they have become cheaper than they are now.

Hi Christian. I am using Lithiums on my GB DP. No problems so far. The use of lithium batteries is one of my "machine upgrades". The packaging says the batteries will make any toy run longer.
