Etrac battery performance (1600 vs 1800 mAh)

[monkeys uncle]

Likely a dumb question, but curious just the same...does Minelab's Slimpack 1800 mAh battery provide better performance (longer detection time, deeper penetration, etc.) than the comparable 1600 mAh pack?

All replies welcome and thanks in advance.

Pretty sure it just increases the hours of constant use - not improve performance. But heck, what do I know!

Longer battery life but no change on performance. They have a built in voltage regulator so the control computer only gets a prescribed amount of juice.

I have a LOT of AA batteries left from my AT Pro, and get more hours use on my Etrac with them than I do with the etrac re-chargable that came with it

Hello Monkeys Uncle,

Same performance, 1800 mAh will last longer in the field! I use the RNB Innovations ML-3100 ($ 139.00 dollars) for my Explorer SE and Explorer II, seem to last forever at full charge. Awesome battery!

Regards,

RNB Innovations ML-3100 is the only way to go. I use it on my E-Trac.
No other choice when you get down to it. HH
