[QUOTE="axtyr, post: 60089, member: 2282"] I bought a 6V SLA battery from Jaycar and it cost me $30.00. I took it back and exchanged it for a 12V battery which was the same price. I can also charge this battery using a normal 12V battery charger. I use these batteries to run my spotlights when out shooting and so I could also use it with the detector, I siliconed a plastic box to the top of the battery and installed an adjustable voltage regulator inside so I have a fixed 12V for the spotlight and I can adjust the voltage from about 1.3V to 10V. To adjust the voltage you also need a multi-meter so that you get the correct voltage and I also have the trimpot inside the case and I need to insert a small screwdriver in a hole to adjust it. This is so the trimpot cannot be knocked and the voltage increased and fry the detector. [/QUOTE]
