charging the 1600/1800mah niMH
battery Packs (optional accessories)
To charge your battery, only use the Minelab
charger designed for your NiMH battery.
Using other chargers may damage your
battery and will void the product warranty.
Recharging NiMH Battery Packs with the
Mains Charger:
1 Remove the battery pack.
2 Insert the mains charger cable into the
socket at the tapered end of the battery
pack.
3 Plug the mains charger into the wall socket
and turn on the switch.
4 Leave for 18 hours to fully recharge the
1600mAh pack (22 hours for the 1800mAh
pack). If the battery was not completely
discharged, the charging time will be
shorter. New batteries will reach their full
capacity after several charge/discharge
cycles.
5 Once charged, disconnect the battery
charger plug from the battery pack.
Note: It is normal for the tip of the
rechargeable battery to get warm
while charging.
