XP DEUS & ORX USB 3 Mini B Charging Cable for Headphone, Remote, and Coil

This USB 3 Mini B cable charges all three wireless components of the XP DEUS and XP ORX systems simultaneously: the wireless headset (WS4 or WS5 models), the remote control, and the search coil. The cable features three Mini B connectors that plug directly into the charging ports on each component, with a single USB-A plug on the opposite end that connects to any standard USB power adapter or computer USB port. This design eliminates the need to charge components one at a time or use multiple separate cables. Our team uses this cable to keep entire XP systems charged overnight between detecting sessions, and it works with every DEUS and ORX component combination we've tested.

Charging time for the XP DEUS and ORX components varies depending on the power source's output capacity and the components' remaining battery levels when you connect them. We've found that plugging the system in before bed after a full day of detecting consistently delivers a fully charged setup by morning. The USB 3 Mini B connectors maintain reliable charging performance across repeated cycles, and we've never experienced a component failing to charge when properly connected to this cable. For best results, use a quality USB wall adapter or computer USB port that provides consistent power output throughout the charging session.

Yes, this cable works with any portable USB battery pack that provides a standard USB-A output port, making it useful for multi-day detecting trips where wall outlets aren't available. We've used this cable with portable battery packs to recharge XP components during lunch breaks at remote hunt sites or overnight at camping locations. This setup is particularly valuable for detectorists attending week-long rallies or running extended beach hunts where returning to a vehicle or building for charging isn't practical. Choose a battery pack with sufficient capacity to meet your charging needs based on how many components you need to recharge.

No, this USB 3 Mini B cable is designed specifically for the original XP DEUS and XP ORX systems and is not compatible with the XP DEUS II. This cable is only compatible with DEUS and ORX systems. If you own a DEUS II detector, you need the charging cable supplied with that system or a DEUS II-specific replacement cable from XP. This cable's Mini B connectors physically match only the charging ports on DEUS and ORX wireless headsets, remotes, and coils.

The XP DEUS and ORX components feature charging circuits designed to protect the battery once it reaches full capacity, so leaving all three connected after one finishes charging does not damage the battery or component. The cable continues supplying power to the remaining components until they also reach full charge. We routinely leave the entire system connected overnight even though different components may finish charging at different times, and we've never experienced battery degradation or overcharging issues. This design allows you to plug in all three components before bed without monitoring which one finishes first.

Yes, you can use any combination of the three Mini B connectors on this cable, and unused connectors can remain unplugged without affecting charging performance on the connected components. The cable's three connectors allow flexible charging of one, two, or all three components as needed. If you only need to charge the headphones and remote, plug those two connectors in and leave the third connector free. We often charge only the headphones and coil when the remote still has sufficient battery remaining from the previous hunt.

No, this USB 3 Mini B cable is designed exclusively for charging and does not support data transfer or firmware updates. XP DEUS and ORX firmware updates require a separate USB update cable sold by XP Metal Detectors that connects to the remote control and communicates with XP's update software. This cable is for charging only. If you need to update your detector's firmware, you must purchase the dedicated XP update cable in addition to this charging cable.

First, verify that the Mini B connector is fully seated in the component's port, as partial connections prevent power transfer. Ensure the USB-A plug is inserted securely into a verified power source. Inspect the charging port for dirt, sand, or corrosion that might block contacts, and clean gently with compressed air if needed. If all connections are tight and the power source works normally with other devices, the issue likely stems from the component's internal battery condition rather than the cable. Contact XP's technical support or an authorized XP Metal Detectors dealer for deep troubleshooting.

The XP DEUS & ORX USB 3 Mini B cable features durable construction that handles regular plug/unplug cycles and field transport without connection failures or wire damage. The cable's compact design packs easily into a detector bag or accessory pouch, and the connectors are designed for regular use. We've carried this cable on dozens of multi-day detecting trips, stuffed it into gear bags alongside coils and digging tools, and used it in dusty, humid, and cold environments without experiencing charging issues. The USB-A plug and Mini B connectors show minimal wear after a year of regular use, and the cable's flexibility prevents kinks or breaks at stress points near the connectors.

Yes, this cable works with car USB adapters that provide a standard USB-A port, allowing you to charge XP DEUS and ORX components during road trips to detecting sites. We've used this cable with car adapters to top up detector components during long drives. A car adapter is particularly useful for detectorists who hunt multiple sites in a single day and need to recharge components between locations. Choose a car adapter with sufficient output to provide reliable charging performance for your components.
