Bad luck , probably the coil lithium battery is faulty . Dont worry too much about this they will send you back a new coil or fix the issue .  Personnaly I have never had a coil charging/battery issue since I use XP wireless detectors ;  the D1 9" since 2013 , I have hundreds of hours with it , and now the D2 9" ( 40 hours with it ) .   

You had a good idea to order a 9" coil btw , for me it is the best coil of the D2 coil set , ultra light and performing , I am sure you will enjoy it ...

Good to hear. While I am a bit disappointed at missing out on a prime weekend hunting opportunity, the forecast is showing some decent (Northeast US) weather next week. By then I will have the 9" and once I get the 11' replaced I will have a spare and will even get a 2nd S-Stem which will essentially give me 2  functioning detectors.

Sent the coil to DETECTOR ELECTRONICS CORP. They received it on Monday 10/17, as I was told it may take a week for them to get to it. No update at this point. The coil finally got to where it would not charge at all before I sent it in. Thus far, the return process has gone pretty smoothly, and I have full confidence that they will resolve it. Will update this post when they get it resolved. I'm hunting primarily in salt water, but have been meticulous about cleaning the machine after each use. I did notice a small area that looked pitted on one of the charging contacts before I sent it in. I'm using my Nox 600 right now, but do miss the Deus II.

My 11" coil has also gotten to the point where it won't charge. I tested the pins from the charging clip and I'm getting 5v out. I cleaned the contacts on the coil with Deoxit, tried the pencil eraser, no luck. So I contacted Detector Electronics. The guy that answered my call told me that he has no replacement coils in stock and that I would have to call American Detector Distributors. I called and gave a woman my email address. She sent me a form to fill out and instructed me to email it along with my purchase receipt to another gentleman.

That was earlier yesterday (Black Friday). So far I have not received any reply. 

The charging design is really poor. I never had any charging issues in the 25+ years I owned White's detectors. Now I'm stuck on a nice weather weekend with no detector. I ordered a 9" coil fromAmazon but it won't be here until Wednesday:(
