Minelab Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery Pack for GPZ 8000 (7.2 V / 5833 mAh)

The Minelab Li-Ion Battery Pack for the GPZ 8000 is the genuine 7.2 V / 5833 mAh removable rechargeable battery that powers Minelab's flagship gold detector. Every GPZ 8000 ships with two of these packs, and we sell the same battery on its own: a spare for multi-day trips, a replacement for an aging pack, or a third battery so your rotation never leaves you waiting on a charger.

Why Carry a Spare Battery in the Goldfields

Serious gold prospecting happens far from wall outlets. The GPZ 8000's battery system is built around that reality: the pack releases via latches on the control box, so swapping to a fresh battery takes seconds in the field, and the second pack charges from the supplied USB-C car charger, plugged into a vehicle accessory socket or into the crocodile clip adapter on a 12 V battery, or indoors from the supplied USB-C AC charger. Minelab designed the two-pack rotation to deliver all-day detecting. Prospectors who hunt remote ground for days at a time add a third pack for the same reason pilots carry fuel reserves: the cost of a spare is nothing next to the cost of a dead detector standing on productive ground.

Key Features

• Genuine Minelab battery, identical to the packs supplied with every GPZ 8000
• 7.2 V / 5833 mAh lithium-ion pack for dependable, consistent power delivery
• Removable design with control box latches allows fast field swaps, no tools needed
• Recharges from the GPZ 8000's USB-C (AC) charger or USB-C (DC) car charger; the car charger also plugs into the crocodile clip adapter for charging straight from a 12 V battery
• Other good-quality USB-C chargers work if they support USB Power Delivery (PD); the battery will not charge from a port without PD, and a source of at least 30 W gives full charging speed
• Rotate two or more packs to keep the detector running from first light to last
