I really need a battery end cap for my excal. My only option is to buy a new battery pod for $179 on E-Bay. Any suggestions?

I think the alkaline is 89.oo and it will work.

I don't think the alkaline one is waterproof. Just good for beach work.

Same endcap just a different shell. Good to 10 feet under.

Ok good deal, also I need a cap to accommodate the pinpoint mod that you have several great video instructions on.
I thank you for your help OBN.

Oh on another note I see that you are using the CTX and having good luck. Congrats.. I used to have one but now I'm having fun with the Garret ATX pro.

OBN, if you have any of these endcaps for sale I'd love to get ahold of 2. put me on your list!

thanks and happy hunting

It will be this winter, the problem is the female ikelite cost 30.oo shipped if buying a bulk amount, then the 9 volt connector and Acrylic rod is about 3 dollars, then the endcaps I charge 18.oo to make, so the price would be about 53.oo each shipped, but I do believe they will last the life of the machine and never crack. What I may do is make 10 this winter, sell them and let them be in the field for a year just to make sure we have something that will meet everyone's needs. I have one on my machine right now testing with the LiPo Battery. Sooner or later everyone is going to need one or two because the stock crack over time...

[size=medium][/size] OBN, put me on your list for 2, I would like a battery pod endcap and a endcap for the main board to house 2 ikelite connections for the pinpoint mod. Thanks

McMaster-Carr has waterproof connectors...dont know if they have those..take a look,cant hurt---that type of connector looks heavy enough to be used for ac power so you might look from that direction too.cant imagine only minelab uses them

 

[SunkenWreck]

Garrett uses them for their SeaHunter xl-500's and their Mark II's
Good luck,
Paul

It's not close, it's exact. If you are still looking, let me know and we may be able to do some trading.

Hey OBN, I know this is an old post, but did you ever find a female connector with the same size hole as the ikelite?
