Question about voltage of Minelab charger.

[Bottomfeeder]

I have a charger that came with my Excal several years ago.
While I haven't had any problems with it, I see that it puts out 18.07 volts instead of the 14.3 volts that the label says is the output.
my battery charges up to about 13.98.
So, is this okay??

I bet you measured the voltage with a multimeter with no load on the circuit. This would be normal without a load on it. When the batteries are fully charged they will read over 13 volts right off the charger and will be lower after you leave it sit over nite or use the detector for a hour or so and it probably will read 12. 5 volts or so.
