GM 1000 Voltage ?

[Rebel73153 89]

 I figure they should run at 12V, right? My AA battery pack is actually a bit over 13V with the 1.5V rechargeable batteries i use, but my rechargeable battery pack that came with the Monster is only charging to 8.15 V. What do they normally run?. I guess when Bill gets some more AA battery holders in i  will get  1 or 2 and more of the 1.5V rechargeable batteries if my rechargeable battery pack is bad.

What a great idea. Think of the depth! You could sit at home and beep nuggets on the mountain.

The first real LRL. Keep a few fire extinguishers handy!

Most detectors run on 12 DC, But they all have a regulator in them, thats why you can run rechageables, at a higher, voltage, the built in regulator cuts it down. Grubstake

Yep, the battery requirement is only the NOMINAL voltage.   A regulator is taking it down to some steady working voltage.
