6.Auxiliary Parts
6.1Battery
The 6 volt rechargeable battery supplied with your SD2100v2 can be used for approximately 14 to 15 hours after being fully charged. When the battery charge drops to a low level, the detector will indicate that the battery needs to be recharged by flashing the Battery Low light. The detector may become unstable when the charge drops to a low level.
CAUTION 
Only use 6 volt batteries as recommended by Minelab.
Never use a 12 volt battery as this will damage the detector. This
damage is not covered by warranty.
6.2Battery Chargers
Two different kinds of battery chargers (mains and 12 volt car) are supplied with the SD2100v2 to facilitate charging the battery under various conditions. The supplied battery, unlike NiCads, does not suffer from memory problems and may be recharged at any time during its discharge cycle. It is very important to fully charge the battery before storage. DO NOT leave a battery fully discharged for longer than one day as this could cause permanent damage.
6.2.1Charging the Battery
a)Turn the SD2100v2 Off before disconnecting the battery.
b)Disconnect the battery cable from the control box and plug into the appropriate charger. While it is being charged, the battery must be kept in an upright position.
6.2.2Mains Charger
