Battery Question

[shanegalang]

My BH Pioneer 505 uses 9 volt batts. As they wear out will the detector be more erratic? Will it loose depth with battery use? Thanks.Shane

Yes, performance will be erratic and unpredictable when it drops below a certain voltage.

Always carry spares!

Oh, you're very welcome Shane...

I wouldn't want you to miss out on a good target!

Just imagine, after a few hours of finding this, and that,
you move over to try a different area and find nothing.
Maybe 1 pulltab on top of the ground, and a penny.
So you decide nothing is there and quit for the day.

Two days later, you pick up your machine to detect and the batteries are ded ded.

Perhaps there were a number of silver coins and maybe a nice gold ring
in that last area, but you will never know!

I buy the big packs of name brand batteries when they go on sale.
For some reason I get duracell, but all name brand are almost the same.

Don't buy em at a dollar store! Could fizzle in 2hrs.
It takes a LOT of use to justify hi cost of rechargeables.

Find some Au !!!

Hi, The Nine Volt Replacements I Had Were Actually 7.2 Volts. And When They Got Low You Sure Knew It The Machine Would Go Crazy Then It Went Dead Quick...Thanks
