Popular Post Carolina Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 Just a short note on Joe’s “shorty” AQ battery. It fits well under the cuff and balance was not noticeably effected from the lighter than stock battery. Run time for me in “tone mode” was 6 hours 20 minutes. It is my understanding that in all metal it is approximately one hour less. The M12 (CTX) phones connector was a welcomed change and the power cable with a small loop and ninety degree connector also worked well. Get one of his battery set ups and avoid changing batteries in mid hunt, while they are available. I believe he has other set ups with even longer run times. Knocked it out of the park again Joe, thanks. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beechnut OBN Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks Buddy, If you could give us a report in about a week that would be great. I used the same battery...... I had a run time of 5 hours and 30 minutes then 5 hours and 37 minutes the second time. All metal hunting the first trip then the second mostly all metal with a hour of mute mode. I am only making 5 Shorties like yours and 5 Big batteries. I get the ten batts out there and give them several months I may do another round this winter when things are slow if everyone is still happy. The shorty is 140 plus shipping 15 dollars and the Big Battery is 170 plus 15 shipping. I expect the Big Batt to get 11 plus hours. List is full, Got in a hunt today and will be working on them Weds..on Ji.....Cliv....Cli....De...See...Sha...Cu..EL..Te ...CC ...Ga/O 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCadrin Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Joe, I am interested in filling the last spot. I am still waiting for Rick to contact me. I was initially around 20th to 30th in line for the AQ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those signed up Ji.....Cliv....Cli....De...See...Sha...Cu..EL..Te ...? Will do Joe but I expect little difference. I was very particular. I keep a water proof watch with me at all times ( since that thing on the CTX is worthless to me ??) and from 2:20 till 8:40 exactly was its time. That dead battery and red light signal Is a little annoying to say the least. I do wish I hadn’t fallen asleep during charge time. I will check that later. I covered 40 blocks round trip serpentine all the way. Stopped and ran a grid pattern in my gold holes until she died. Plenty of battery for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Bill I have set that one on the side for now. I have to work out the bugs on it..I've got about 34 hours on it now and I've had 2 issues. One's I think I can resolve but it's going to take some me some time to figure out how to get around them. Once I get the 10 batteries done I will get back on it..if you watch my video's that is the one I use now. I'll be putting a video up later tonight of tuesdays hunt with the AQ.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
