Strider55 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Need mods done for my tdi. My sister has some property with an old township on it. Would like higher voltage batteries also. Can you put batteries in before mods or after? Thanks strider55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Idaho Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Last I knew, Reg had quit working on mods. Said he had a friend thinking about doing it, but no decision so far. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Idaho Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 If you find somebody doing the mods, please post it. I'd like to have Reg's mods for the SL done to mine. Need somebody with micro soldering skills from what Reg told me. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Prospector Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I believe White's is in the process designing a new battery pack for the SL to increase input to 14-16 volts (from the existing 12volts.) which by itself will substantially increase performance..... especially on small gold. There may be other mods the engineers at White's are considering to improve the SL's performance as well. You might want to sit back and wait a bit.........Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Idaho Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'm already using a 4 cell L-ion pack. 16.8 volts with a fresh charge. Steve Howard said that was about all the voltage the SL could handle. Reg had a couple of mods that allowed a faster sweep speed without losing sensitivity on small gold. I've got the writeup on those, just need the right technician to get it done. I was a radar tech in the Air Force, but Reg said it required somebody with experience in current devices.
