Explorer XS battery/charger

[minelab rick]

My XS mobile charger is not working. How can I tell if it is my charger or my rechargeable battery? I could move the charger probe around at the battery and make the charge light come on. Now that doesn't work. The battery is 7 years old now but works fine when I can get it to charge. Any suggestions?

Test the charger with a voltmeter & the same with the Batt. pack. Might be a good time to replace the batteries in the pack with higher capacity batteries.7 years on the pack is very good!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll check it right away.

You can always go to a Radio Shack or Wal Mart and pick up a "universal" car charger. These have selectable output voltages and several different size output plugs (one will match your Minelab battery pack. You will save some money over a Minelab replacement car charger.
