Can I use regular c lithium batteries in the xf 50 transmitter

No, regular lithium C batteries are not recommended for use in the Underground Magnetics Mag 9 transmitter. The manual states that in adverse soil conditions, normal C cell batteries can experience battery chatter, which reduces battery life. Instead, it recommends using the provided double C lithium batteries or the UM Rechargeable Echo Cell Kit.
