Wow, from all the videos I've seen about this detector, I am left with some questions I've not seen addressed. So if anyone has information on the following I would really appreciate your thoughts...
Question 1: Eventually all batteries that power a MD will have to be replaced whether they're rechargeable or regular. Rechargeable batteries only have a limited recharge life cycle before they are no good. Since the battery for the Deus is in the coil, how would one replace this battery when it's life is over?
Is this possible to change by the end user? Do we need to send the coil back to the company if the battery needs replacement? or.. Do we need to re-purchase a whole new coil which would be very expensive?
Question 2: What about the batteries in the headphones and receiver unit. Are they changeable by the user or do you have to send them back to the company? I would hope we have access to all batteries so we're not locked into a constant manufacture repair bill or repeat repurchase scenario.
Question 3: I know that Deus can detect in salty sand, but can it be totally submerged in ocean salt water if properly sealed from water? In other words, it would be easy to keep all electronics from water by putting them in water proof containers so it implies it could be a submersible detector.
Question 4: Can it do both Fresh and Salt water detecting, or is it better suited for one over the other?
Question 5: Since this is wireless, is there any chance that you could get interference from another Deus if you were detecting next to each other? Could program change effect the other Deus while hunting?
--------------
All in all, my battery questions have me very concerned. If we are locked into a continual service or maintenance charge from factory to keep this detector running year after year, then I will have to pass on this unit...
Thanks for fielding my questions.

Even if you don't know the answers to my questions, if you can direct me to where I can find them, I will share what I find here.
