Hi All,
My original red o-ring gasket has started to stretch out a bit (from cleaning I guess). Anyway I decided I should order a new one but saw on the Kellyco website that the O-ring kit is for 2016 and newer models. Anyway I almost ordered the kit from kellyco but decided to call Minelab repair in PA first. The lady there gave me the same part number that Kellyco has and said it should fit but might be a little tight getting the clamps closed down. So I went ahead and ordered the kit.
Just wondering if anyone is using the new grey O ring with the older battery? Anyone having any problems? I'm thinking if it fits tight it might put a lot of strain on the ears of the locking clamp and they could break. I wish I could just get some NOS red gaskets. I'm kind of disappointed that Minelab doesn't offer those for owners of older CTX's.
The lady in PA said they have a new battery kit and charger or something like that. I didn't ask the price. My battery and charger are good. Does the new battery fit into the old housing? How tight do the clamps engage with the new battery and grey seal?
Any feed back will be appreciated.
