I may be on the wrong track here, having limited knowledge of the subject, but would it be possible to use a high capacity "power bank" as a substitute for the stock battery pack in a detector?
I am thinking particularly of the Whites "tdi sl", which has a short battery duration.
The latest power banks are small and would seem to hold a massive battery life, with several at 12v and above.
They seem small enough to fit in the battery pack compartments of some detectors.
Feel free to rubbish this idea, on condition that you explain why this is a non starter?
Rough example ----
