Excal Users FYI

[BootyHunter]

I was getting ready for a trip (6 hours away, 5 day stay) at the beach so I have 2 Excal Battery packs. Charged the one on the detector then put the spare on the charger the night before the trip. Got about 3 hours into my drive and remembered the charging battery, put the thing on charge Monday afternoon, got it off the charger when I returned home the following Saturday night around Midnight. Happy to report that I didn't find any damage and the charger wasn't even very hot. Put that battery on and have hunted an hour with it and it worked as usual. Still have to see how long it will last though but overall looks to be no damage. Do I advise doing this? No, but just thought I would share the results of this "accidental" experiment. HH to all.

Thanks for the info. I did hear that you can't overcharge or ruin the battery by leaving it on too long. Nice to know it works after 5 or 6 days. I have 2 also but haven't had to change to the spare yet.
