if your not using or don't own the RNB battery you should

I bought a RNB battery for my E-trac way back when they first came available... I had forgot how great they were till I bought this E-trac used over a month ago and it came with one... I have been out hunting basically every day or every other day for over a month..I have only had to put it on the charger twice now... I average about 2-4 hours per hunt. beats the run time of the stock battery by miles...

For a few reasons my Etrac has been hanging in my garage for a year...unused. I got it out last weekend and plugged in my RNB battery for charging, it took only a few minutes to change. That tells me that over a year's time, the RNB battery held 95% of its charge. It may have held 100% because I don't think that I charged it after the last use a year ago! And yes, I know it's a crime that I haven't detected in a year, that's about to change!

Hotrod which rnb battery do you have. I have the 3100. I’ve had mine for about 4 years charged it maybe 4 times. Haven’t been out that much due to working a lot. I pulled my Etrac out awhile back probably been a year since I used it. Showed a full charge on the etrac. So out of curiosity I put it on charge. After 15 mins it was fully charged. Is it expensive yes is it worth it you bet it is. Probably one of the best things you can purchase other than coils.
