Hi all,
I was wondering how you've all gone with several months/long term storage or semi permanent/several weeks storage of the SD or GPX Li battery packs over the years? I haven't really seen any battery care topics on the Minelab website (that I could find easily anyhow). They should get one up but maybe we can beat them to it.
It's something I've been thinking about since owning the new 5000. I'm only able to get out on a trip about twice or three times a year at most so it'll be just sitting stagnant in the case for a few months at a time between uses.
A couple of basic questions I had were along the lines of:
1.Is it something you like to keep on top of or not really too worried at all?
2.Have you found any good tips or tricks over the years for care?
3.Do you like to discharge then recharge it or keep it at medium-full charge?
Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated by most ML operators here I would assume.
Thanks kindly guys.
Shauno.
