batteries on 1260x

why would you want to do that? The 1260X take 8 AA's @ 1.5 volts each for a total of 12 volts. with two 9volt batteries you would get 9 total volts if wired in parallel or 18 volts if wired in series. 18 volts may be more than the regulator can safely handle.. many will handel from 5-15 volts without damage.. Wiring the two 9 volt batteries in parallel will give you 9 volts total voltage which will be safe for the electronics... and may or may not operate the detector (if the voltage isn't too low)..But you will lose current capacity and the detector would most likely lose depth and the batteries would be dead sooner
