[QUOTE="Silver05, post: 301416, member: 7259"] Last year I got a second hand CTX 3030. I have not used it much at all but was dudded a bit when I bought it. It was older than I was told and I am the third owner. I really only got it to muck around with on my travels etc. Nothing serious, just a bit of fun. Anyway...I took it with me on a recent trip and low and behold it would not work. To cut it short...the lithium battery is buggered. I have the AA battery pack and will use that. Minelab of course will do nothing and only warrant their batteries for 6 months which I think is pretty rubbish. I have lithium batteries that are still going after 6 years so I am not really happy with this situation. I'm not going to fork out another $180 for a battery and can't find the AA battery pack holder listed as a spare part ( I was going to run with 2 of them as a possibility) so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas. I assume it's just bad luck for me. My mate tells me you can get cells replaced in lihtium batteries but I can't find out any info on this. [/QUOTE]
