The X-TERRA ELITE runs on an internal 3.7V 5100 mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery that eliminates the need to carry spare AAs. Minelab does not publish a specific runtime hour figure because battery life varies with backlight settings, volume, wireless headphone use, and sensitivity level. The magnetic USB charging cable lets you top off from a car, power bank, or wall adapter between hunts. Battery performance depends on your configuration choices: higher backlight intensity, louder volume, wireless audio, and maximum sensitivity all draw more power than conservative settings. Carry a USB power bank for extended hunts to ensure uninterrupted detecting time.
