TedinVT Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'm wondering if the Equinox battery charging terminals will be 'hot', ie. the detector's internal battery's voltage present at the terminals while detecting. Realizing the voltage is only around 5vDC, there isn't any real human danger with exposure. This is more a question of what happens if the terminals are 'hot' while detecting in saltwater. Could mineralized water provide a path for slow battery discharge, increasing battery drain? Is there any possibility of electrolysis that might cause damage to the charging terminals while detecting in saltwater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
