Question about minelab excalibur charger adaptor

[DigDugNY]

So this may sound like a dumb question, but with the minelab Excalibur charger adaptor comes that's rubber piece that sits over the contact pins. Are you supposed to remove that when charging the batteries or is it there for protection when you screw that other piece on?

I leave mine installed in the chraging adaptor all the time, but you can charge without it as it will have no effect on charging the batteries, nor will it hurt anything if charging without it.

You MUST have it in place when using the Excall as it completes the water proof seal between the battery and the power cord. If the rubber gasket is not there you can get water in the connectors and corrosion will eat away the connections. The one on the battery charger is a good spare in case you lose the one on the power cord.

You don't need it to charge your batteries, it's a spare casket for your detector.
