Title: Minelab Explorer Rechargeable battery Post by: Neil on February 24, 2010, 09:51:43 AM I am just in thge process of ordering a replacement rechargeable battery for my Explorer II. This may sound a stupid question but what is the difference between the Explorer NiMh 1600 rechargeable battery pack and the Explorer NiMh 1800 rechargeable battery pack?
I am presuming the answer will be battery life - any ideas?

I just bought an all singing all dancing charger with 8 batteries for the E trac. The batteries are 2900 mAH huge volume , doubles the length of usage. Full charge obtained in 5hrs.
Have you got a battery pod because if you have this may be a better solution for you Neil.

Does anyone know the actual time/usage length difference in the two types?
