V3i/MXT Pro Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Any word from White's engineering if the new TDI BeachHunter can handle the 14.4v Li-ion (Reidman) battery? I'm assuming it's the same as TDI SL and there is no voltage regulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Freeman-Smith Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Unfortunately mine has gone back for repair. I got it on the Tuesday, used Wednesday for 3 hours and recharged when I got home. Went Thursday machine working fine, switched off after 2 hours to talk to my buddy, then the machine refused to turn on. I tried the alkaline pack just in case I had a faulty charger, but no. Whites of Scotland collected it next day but couldn’t send a replacement as they hadn’t any. Bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 That's not what I wanted to hear.......hope my unit is okay as it is a 20,000 mile round trip ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Freeman-Smith Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I’m hoping it’s just a case of over zealous couriers. Up until then it was unbelievable, and so, so stable. The engineers should have it Monday so hopefully I’ll soon have it back. I still have my dual field so all is not lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Please keep us updated if they get back to you with a diagnosis. Can I ask what battery you were running at the time (please feel to PM me on this matter ?) Thanks, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Freeman-Smith Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hi Tony, I was using the rechargeable pack and it was fully charged. I rang the engineer on the drive home and he suggested I try the alkaline pack in case I had a faulty battery or indeed charger. This I did to no avail, I also didn’t get a low battery light so thought it was something else. Ill keep you informed when I hear from Whites further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Freeman-Smith Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Tdi beachunter on its way back from Whites, it was nothing more than a mini connector popping off the board. It is reconnected, pressure tested and they assured me it won’t happen again. They think maybe the parcelforce couriers handling was a bit rough and it was loosened and the connector only just touching when I got it. Excellent service from Whites once again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
