I didn't put the charging clip on the coil right so the DEUS died on me 2hrs into the hunt at my old old homesite. I did end up finding 3 wheats in one hole (19, 19 & 20). I also found a weird type washer, spacer thing about the diameter of a Pennie but thicker. It was 10.5 deep and sounded great, this machine gets some serious depth w this coil!
Fortunately I had brought my trusty 75SE w me as backup and ended up having a great day (it's on the F Series forum).
I'm going back again today to give the DEUS another chance.

Even when you put the clip on the right way, you need to make sure that it is securely in place and the white light comes on and stays on to indicate that the coil is charging. I had the clip either slip off or not securely fastened and it made me think I had an issue with my coil not holding a charge After charging it again, everything was fine.
Jerry, I need to get a charging clip to carry around with me. But they are 19 Euro with shipping, not cheap for a little plastic piece. I ordered the emergency charger (for a cell phone) online (Paid 8 bucks for a nice one with a lite compared to 20 plus shipping). The emergency charger has the same voltage and was 500mA, so that should work fine.
Jerry.
