Power your gold prospecting adventures with the genuine Minelab Lithium Ion Battery, designed explicitly for high-performance GPX pulse induction metal detectors. Engineered to meet the intense power demands of advanced gold tracking technology, this replacement module ensures your machine maintains peak depth penetration and target sensitivity throughout long days in the field.
Why the Integrated Amplifier Matters
Unlike standard battery packs, this premium Minelab module features a built-in signal enhancement amplifier. The amplifier actively boosts the faint audio signals generated by small or deeply buried gold nuggets, passing crisp sound straight to your headphones via the integrated 1/4 inch audio jack. This eliminates the need for bulky external booster boxes, streamlining your detecting configuration.

Expert Maintenance and Care Tips (User-First Care)
To guarantee maximum lifespan from your lithium-ion investment, always charge the battery using the official Minelab intelligent charging system. Avoid storing the battery completely drained or leaving it exposed to extreme heat or freezing temperatures for prolonged periods. When preparing for off-season storage, maintain the charge level around 50 percent to protect the internal cells from natural degradation.
