Official Words from Minelab regarding EQUINOX battery

[dewcon4414]

It is what it is now........ but im hoping RNB might step up on this issue for us. Got to love their batteries and chargers. Or maybe they will design a WATERPROOF attachment for recharging.

I love my RNBs. I don't see the problem here though. You can charge from the car, nice. I do believe I read you can use a portable battery storage/phone rechargers AND keep hunting while it is plugged in! Not perfect, but better than any one else is offering.

Its a better option than you get from a DEUS with a flat battery.

Tom........ MOST you can charge from a car now days. But if it takes 5 hours to charge the the battery is a fairly large mah battery....... or thats one slow charger. We will just have to see how well they last....... especially after a year of my use. BUT..... i will say ML seems to use pretty good rechargeables. Even my ole blue 700 mah would run 4 hours before i decided to upgrade. I think its more tech...... its changing fast new gets old faster. You can bet one of us will come up with a way to add a battery thats water proof. I saw Steve H already had a fairly large battery for his attached behind the cuff for gold hunting.

So much fuss about this. I remember going crazy buying 9v batteries like crazy not too long ago. I like Lithium and I ain't Li-on!

Just buy one of those USB battery sticks, you should be able to get through a full day then.

Not even out yet and we are worried about swapping batteries. SMH, will worry about that bridge when I get to it

Battery lasts 12 hrs. recharge time is 4 hrs. If you swing 8 hrs ( most cant) recharge time <4 hrs.
So start swinging at 8 AM til 4 PM. Plug in charger, go eat, have a few pops, & shoot the s***.
Probably good to go again about 7 PM.

Batteries are in the grip. Limited space. Move them to have longer life ( more or bigger bats) & you change the balance & overall weight.
You also have to do more waterproofing, a bit more weight maybe a few oz's. We all want balance & lightness !
Most want weight centered in the hand not at the ends..... If you shoot there can be a huge difference in balance. One gun will just
about fall into a good aim another is a bear to aim.

We want speed ! Speed = draw more current = shorter battery life.

Optional battery pack would be nice for a back up. BUT we want waterproof ! Keep on opening to change bats & there goes
the waterproofing.

enuf fer now
