Problem with the equinox 600

[Mazds 334]

Hello, the green light when charging the minelab never turns to a solid green and always blinks after many hours of charging. >

When I do a factory reset, it's all good.

Is this something to be concerned? (especially if it's because of the lithium battery)

Thanks and H-H!

BTW, the battery life of my nox is very good. I can get 12 hours in.

Hello and welcome.

Is your Nox new? I noticed with mine the first charge seemed to take forever. Now when I charge it it's ready in an hour or so.

2 years.

Your battery degraded.

Update I sent it to minelab and they repaired it and it's still doing the same thing!!! Wondering if I didn't get scammed at the repair center by Minelab

They sent me a new pod but I am wondering if they just didn't put the old battery back inside

Try a different charging source?

 

[Mazds 334]

Still doing it

Have you tried charging off of a power bank?

 

[Mazds 334]

Not yet. Consdering buying one.

maybe you should measure voltage on your charged battery, and the voltage of charging without battery. You wold be able to tell if your battery doesn't reach final voltage any more, or is it the problem with chargeing circuit.

If you still have problems, call Minelab as its still under warranty. I can' think of anything left to do.
