A bit of explanation. I bought the GPX 5000 sensond hand, a month or two back. I am a bit of a modder. I decided to give it a new battery with a larger capacity, so bought ten Panasonic cells that are 3.6A/h. Charger these batteries in my Li-ion charger before building my new battery pack with...

OK. I was checking the wrong pins. I now read 8.3 volts between pins 1-4. I was looking at 1-5. This is new battery pack I built, (admit now), using 10 Panasonic cells so this battery has twice the capacity a new Minelab battery has. Thank you.

G'day fellow seekers. Am I barking up the wrong tree for WA regulations. As I read it, in WA after getting the required permits it seems to me I have to nominate where I wish to do my prospecting, and then I am allocated this tiny plot of land where I am allowed. Here in Victoria a miners...
