Hi Folks,
Those of us with the above detectors and use the 12 volt charging lead regularly.
Check the figure eight cable where it exits the cable restrainer on the cigarette lighter plug, today I noticed mine has a crack in the insulation and further use will cause the bare copper conductors to 'shot out" this is the second cable that has suffered the same issue and is potentially a fire hazard if not attended to.
MineLab replaced the original cable with the current one and it too has suffered from the same failure as the first one, no change in design/ components, given the high cost of these detectors one would expect quality components that would handle general usage.
Cheers, SinHof.
