Question about the Deus

[jackintexas]

Question about the Deus. I know everything on the Deus is rechargeable. What happens if you are using it say in the woods for several days where you can not recharge the batteries. Can you use other batteries in an emergency or does it only use the rechargeable batteries in it....Very interested in a Deus but wondering about the rechargeable batteries......Jack

Also is the standard 9" coil DD or concentric....Jack

only it's own batts.

one can get a emergency battery cell phone charger; has two AA batts, and good for field emergency charge...or just a cell charger in your car

you can get a rechargeable battery such as this for example to have on hand for emergency charging of any of the Deus components, or use the triple tap to charge all three components at the same time. i have found that the coil is usually what needs charging first. if one were to have two coils you could throw on the other one and keep detecting while the other coil is charging.

There is also a singular AA charger option that uses a single AA for a emergency. I have not used it but carry it with me on sites with some AA's just in case. The solar charger is expensive but maybe one of the best bets if you need a car free option or a place to plug in to that has it's own power to supply it.

I wish Deus would come out with like a booster pack that is rechargable and you carry it in your backpack or what have you that will charge all three elements if need be in like 2 hours. Hope Alain is peruzzing these boards....hint hint!

mtsheron, what i think you want is what i talked about in my previous message. this will charge individual components or all three in a short time.

Caution, if you decide to use a pack for recharging watch the current output. Strive for 1Amp, 2.5Amps little high and could shorten batteery life. 4.5 amps way too much IMO.

No! I have tested charging of Deus components. Coils (9 and 11) take 330mA each one, WS4 block and control unit - 270mA. I have used wall charger with 2.1A output. Controllers inside Deus parts (coils, backphones and control unit) or controllers on batteries don't give the high current pass through to the battery.
Here is my video, but it is on Russian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWvVT96s1Ho&list=UUFEm79D4rZtcZnvvrPmB3Tg So, simply trust me.
But of course, 1A is optimal.
