as far as i know you can interchange , never tried though
Yes you can use the CTX li-ion battery in the GPZ with about half the running time.
The GPZ battery also works in the CTX & should roughly double your CTX running time.
The CTX AA alkaline battery pack won't work in the GPZ though. Need one of the li-ion packs to power the beast.

Hi Flatlander,
My CTX3030 is powered almost exclusively from a 7000 battery, I run two of them; also the larger battery helps balance the large 17x13 coil on the 3030. When detecting in and around water, I use the 3030 battery as it has a water proof seal, not sure if the 7000 battery has a similar seal.
Cheers, SinHof.

Hi CTX kid,
Yes, I think it helps the overall balance to some degree, just how much it's hard to put a number on, more a felt type of situation. At any rate I have no trouble swinging the 3030 with the big coil and the 7000 battery for long periods, it's a great combination and keeps the body fit for time spent on the gold fields swinging the 7000.
Cheers, SinHof.

practice and learn the machine , learn the tones
ower: i do all my detecting in factory coin mode
i see no reason to change what the factory gave me , and we have done very well if it rings the bell in coin mode , it's probably worth digging up :clap: :clap: , other than aluminum that is :awful: 8.(
layful: layful: but you'll learn how to deal with that dig every target (in the tidiest possible manner)and learn what it tells you
