    NIMH-AA-1.2v-Batteries Are Not Adding Up

    I have done the voltage test myself,It would require 10 NIMH-recharge-ables @ 1.2v to = the required 12volts for 12volt detectors.

    The NIMH AA Recharge-ables Are not Adding Up

    I have done the voltage test myself,no-load and under-load.For a 12vdc there would need to be a total of 10-1.2vdc NIMH AA-batteries to total 12vdc.It don't take a brain surgeon to figure this one out!.:thumbup:

    Honey I Can See Whats In The Ground Before I Dig IT Up

    You want a id detector go get a Whites.Tesoro knows that id and tones are really unnecessary.They will build a detector that will find what you are looking for,and do it well. And back it up.Digital id takes more power,tones,and all the extra bells & whistles.Tesoro is not going to build a...

    More Tejon Targets( Better batteries)

    After finding out that the AA nimh batteries only coming in 1.2vdc the charge and amp load was not good enough for the Tejon,1.2vx8v=9.6vdc,i used the Tejon with this battery type and it did not preform well.I changed to Alkalines this weekend and so did my luck.

    More Tejon Targets( Better batteries)

    After finding out that 1.2nimh rechargeables would not work good i changed to alkaline and my luck changed to.Watch out for rechargeables the AA nimh will only charge to 1.2vx8v=9.6v the Tejon will not run right at this dc volt and amp level.

    I Hope The Tiger Shark Is Coming Along Ok ?
