i still prefer using 4 rechargeable li-ion batteries which have the running power...ive tried other batteries and they let me down on running time...the li-ion have a low internal resistance which is better for pulse type metal detectors.
thanks for your nice comment....im in the process of making another pro using a beach hunter ID housing...ive modified the battery box to hold 4 li-ion batteries...i like tdi detectors very much and think they are the best all round pulse detectors.
