Well, it not for lack of chargers. I have too many.....why?? Because some of the best deals for batteries also include battery chargers. I have a one hour AA charger (cost-$5.00), 2 x 2 hour chargers (cost-$11.00 with 4 AA batteries included, a 24 hr. charger $7.00 with 2 free AA batteries. Another 24 hr charger because my other one got fried after accidentally spilling some vinegar on it. (Yes,I was cleaning some finds)No free batteries on that baby. I also have 2 (PURE ENERGY) 4 AA alkaline battery chargers that came with the AA batteries too!
Now, owning several detectors, and usually taking at least two with me on any given hunt, requires some good time management on which machine uses which set of batteries. As a rule, I use the same bunch of batteries on each machine until they are worn out. Usually, my rechargeable alkaline batteries are my backup spare, as they don't drain at all while sitting dormant, not being used. And, after a use, only if say for 10 minutes, they get charged up to full again. Now, I also have 4 kids, with video games, cell phones, toys etc. who also share this confusing world of recyclable batteries. So, at times, I find new batteries, unknown batteries, forgotten batteries and my own batteries charging. To combat this issue, I have insisted that "ALL" of us ID our batteries so I can send the unknown ones to their proper place. Thank you Garrett, that all the newer machines run on AA's
Man.....the detecting part is so easy!
