With all the concerns about how the Lithium Ion Battery Regulator Switch could accidently get flipped to the wrong voltage, I actually forgot that the way this is configured, it is darn near impossible for the switch to flip by itself or by debris hitting it.
As you recall, the previous pictures I posted were of the regulator, battery, etc. without showing you how it actually fits into your Minelab pouch. A slight detail that escaped me, even though I have been using the prototype. As I had previously said, I had no problems with the switch, the point that eluded me was precisely WHY I had no problem.
In the first picture we see the spare battery already sitting in the pouch, and the other battery clicked onto the regulator ready to be set in the pouch, battery pointing down. Just like with a dome top battery the power cord exits to the right and the headphone cord exits to the left, unless of course you are left handed then just switch the orientation of the battery setup.

Now once we have our total 14 ounce Pocket Rocket in place, along with our spare battery of 10 ounces, you can see that we have a neat little package all nestled nicely in our Minelab battery pouch.

Now if you are using an SD then you want your regulator set to the 7.3 volt setting. Great, just switch to the proper setting and rotate your headphone jack to hold it in place.
This position of the headphone jack holds the switch up.

Flip the switch the other way to the 6.7 volt position, rotate the headphone jack and this position holds the switch down in the 6.7 volt position for the GP series machines.

Close the cover to your Minelab Battery pouch and, switch is totally concealed and protected from trees, bushes, branches, and those occasional dead California Giant Condors that drop out of the sky from time to time !

I think you guys are really going to love this new system from COILTEK !
