nvchris Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 From http://www.fortbedfordmetaldetectors.com/minelab-CTX-GPZ-battery Minelab CTX and GPZ battery options: 3011-0118 Stock CTX 3030 4.4 Ah battery $149 3011-0279 Stock GPZ 7000 10.0 Ah battery $195 3011-0280 Upgraded 13.3 Ah battery $234 This is the first mention I have seen of a talked about optional larger capacity battery for the GPZ. The page says in stock - but are they? I ordered one, free shipping and they have a paypal checkout! Thanks Steve!! Be interesting to see the run time on the upgraded 13.3 Ah.

Sourdough Scott Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Seems to reason, if you like the wireless WM12. You would need a spare battery and WM12. Since the charging times are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Running time is far longer on the WM12, like over double. Besides, you can always use wired headphones. I have a couple spare CTX batteries I carry for backup but 99% of the time the main battery gets me through the day and gets charged that night. Could be a problem off grid but that is rarely an issue for me. The higher capacity GPZ battery is physically larger and heavier, and may make the GPZ balance better for those that like running the coil all the way out.

TRINITYAU Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The store that I mentioned above has them in stock. TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Got a shipping notice and tracking # for the stock. No availability on the high capacity model.....yet. $195 free shipping. http://www.fortbedfordmetaldetectors.com I think all the dealers should be able to get them now. From ML America, Whats not available is the lower rod kits and once again those stealthy ferrets. Ray, Thanks for checking! You must have Chip's inside line, all I got was an answering machine.
