Can the weather (Hot/Cold) affect MD'ing BATTERY
ALCON,
I love working with AC/DC circuitry and electronics! I think that's why MD'ers are soooo impressive to me. But, today I met a gentlemen (fellow detector enthusiast), and we both showed off our MD'ers. I'm currently located in Italy, and it's freezing over here, but when I turned on my detector, it went ballistic!!! I mean it went back and forth through all the tones and beeps (0-99) and never stopped. I'm going to conduct a test with 9 volt batteries. I want to leave one out over night in the cold, and one in the house. I will use a multimeter to check the outputs on both. Also, I want to check 3 different brands of batteries and how they affect my detector. When I got home, I waited about 1 hour and set the same battery back in my detector. Once I turned it on, it was fine... AWKWARD.... I think these series of tests I want to conduct will solidify my hypothesis, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this problem before
1. Do different batteries cause issues with your detector?
2. Does Hot/Cold weather affect your detector?
3. I use a Bounty Hunter Platinum Detector... What detector do you use??
Thanks for your replies as they will help me answer the 5 W's in my newfound hobby of Metal Detecting....
