I've started telling people that ask "have you found anything?" ,,,, "Yes I just found my tenth diamond ring for the day a minute ago ,,, LOOK !" Then I show them the zincolns ......Skuh kuh kuh kuh

Nox No Longer Charges.. Any Advice?
rvpopeye replied to Erik Oostra's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
The problem has been resolved. An update on things discussed in this thread ................... I just ran across this vid about a clip system for building battery packs without soldering to the batteries. It's about EBIKES but more importantly about connecting lithium cells safely. Seems like something anybody might be able to use without the risk of overheating the cells ! -

Rechargeable Aa 1.5v Batteries
rvpopeye replied to kac's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I've been looking at lithium for my solar set up for some time now... BattleBorn seems to be king ATM but those prices ! Battery tech is growing exponentially , it's tough living on the edge of development . But that was my life for SO many years ! Hard to break the habit now but I try. skuh kuh kuh kuh -

Rechargeable Aa 1.5v Batteries
rvpopeye replied to kac's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
BMS = Battery Management System ,, it keeps everything from going "flame city" and balances the cells among other mysteries I haven't yet discovered ! I've never made (or worked on) one of those so not certain what they contain or if always active during discharge but think it probably is. (I really haven't done much tron work since retiring , taking a break from the solder fumes LOL....OK ,except for a couple of times on my solar stuff...) I will be following this thread as I wanted some of the AAs for my other detector and a 9v for the pinpointer.... not a priority as yet. ( I have 5 sets of ni-mh AAs and a 4 block of 9v alkalines as I B a prepared pirate arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) -
Maybe you could make up one using a fitted skid plate . Then you could add/remove it as needed ?

GPX 6000 - Emi Troubles - Some Data For Minelab?
rvpopeye replied to Northeast's topic in Detector Prospector Forum

Rechargeable Aa 1.5v Batteries
rvpopeye replied to kac's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Some charging circuits can produce HF interference. So checking is good , then you'll know . Edit: Thought about this more today.. Plus there must be a BMS in each one , could be a "symphony" of EMI ? Possibly different amounts between brands too. Or nothing at all ? -
Scary pics ! I get enough of THAT here in what I call "East Coast Alaska" ! The heat is OK for me ...had enough cold stuff to last me two lifetimes..... Good crowd but... Long wait for the lifts fer sure !
