[QUOTE="Guest, post: 61044"] Gday lab, Just been reading the manual (page 51) & the battery graph shows about 7.9v after 2hrs, 7.5v after 8hrs & getting close to the 7.3v low battery warning after 12hrs with the standard 5000 set up I.e. no rooster booster. The rooster boosters might not be chewing much power after all? Looks to be normal according to the Minelab graph? Edit: Although doesn't explain the better time with just the external speaker as that would be cutting the internal battery booster in anyway. Might leave it longer next time to check mine & see if it is still reducing as per the graph or if it continues to drop fairly quickly. Edit: wonder if anyone using a booster with its own battery supply, like the B&Z, gets better life? [/QUOTE]
