Still having problems with new style ctx batteries.

[can]

Is it just me or is anyone else having issues with charging new style batteries for the ctx. I have been through 3 new style batteries and 2 chargers and cannot get a charge on the new style batteries. I cannot get a solid green light. The old style battery (which I only have one charges fine). What is the trick to get these batteries in the charging cradle correct.

I had 0 problems with mine (new style)

Glad to hear mex. Kind harsh signature though.

lol nothing personal against someone, just laughed when I saw it just be sure the battery is really sited in the charger with the minelab letters correct reading looking to the lights, HH & GL !

Ok. Here is the latest. Come to find out I was sent two older style battery chargers. Thanks to a new friend in Va Beach who alerted me the difference between a bc10 version 2, version 3, and a version 4 battery charger. Called minelab. Guess what? They put a new charger in the mail immediately. rev 2 and rev 3 dont charge the new style battery so well. Got a rev 4 coming. Good on minelab. and good on my new friend kbellcpa and theoutdoors360. Thanks I know I am new to metal detecting and I am not the brightest bulb in the house, but this had me really frustrated. It is important to have the right equipment. The three chargers look very similar,but there is a difference.

So, is there an easy way to tell which one you have?

Ya know, until Can noted this I was not aware of the difference.... so I checked my charger, its marked on the tag the revision status just below the model number. Hope this helps anyone with questions about their charger

On the bottom on the charger there is an information label. On the top left hand corner it reads in very small font:
Model: BC 10
Rev. 04a

The rev stands for revision(i guess) I have a rev 02a and a rev 03a. Neither charges the newer style batteries well.
