Hi guys. Question should I disconnect cable to control box? If yes should I spray the end with anything? Thank you
I like to drain the coolant and clean the flux capacitor before storing.
IMHO:
As with all metal detectors they should be broken down (rods) and cleaned, coil covers removed and coil/cover should be cleaned and all batteries should be removed. Now in the case of the Equinox (can not remove battery), I would give a charge and leave it alone for the winter only occasionally checking if the battery has lost significant charge (bars on display). Never leave a rechargeable battery in a discharge state for a long time...nothing good comes of it. I would also keep it in a warm dry place. Again this is me and I take great care of my machines.
You can't remove the battery? So how many years is it supposed to last before you have to buy a new Nox?
So no need for histrionics from the AA battery crowd looking for yet another ridiculous reason to bash the Equinox
How about the 9 volt crowd..... can I find a ridiculous reason to bash the Equinox too.....
Since it is a 1.21 gigawatt battery, it should last 4 to 6 years and actually IS user replaceable or lacking a suitable replacement you can run it off a power bank if you happen to have an old Mr. Fusion miniature reactor lying around in the garage next to your DeLorean.
There is just no need to go to the trouble of taking the control head off the shaft to access and remove a lithium battery simply to lay up the detector over the winter.

Not saying that's where you were headed, with your post, your majesty, but just wanted to nip that in the bud because a post like yours seems to be like catnip for attracting certain Garrett, Tesoro, and Whites users who seem to be highly offended the Equinox even exists. It just gets a little old after awhile...
