The black band on the outside of my Excal 1000's battery pack came loose today. No big deal. It did allow me to see part of the battery housing that I had never seen before and what I saw has me a little concerned. There is a black rubber seal inside the battery housing just behind the threaded connector. This divides the battery housing into two compartments. The compartment that holds the battery is perfectly dry. However, the small compartment between the threaded connector and the seal is full of water.
Has anyone else experienced this?
The detector seems to be functioning properly for the time being but I am concerned about possible corrosion. I hunt mostly freshwater but what happens if saltwater gets in there when I travel to the beach?
