[QUOTE="Rejy, post: 256989, member: 7755"] Thanks Condor22, It turns out there is a silver box placed on the back pack, this is the voltage regulator. the 12v battery is a 7AH battery. I also have what I believe is the original or commonly used 6v (BB Battery BP10-6v, 10AH/20HR) this doesn't seem to be working. I'm guessing I can test it with a meter, but not sure what prongs (Just checked 2.8v). I believe the battery mod was done to save money as the 12v is around $35 compared to the 6v $90 P.s so overwhelmed with all the knobs, I only received it today. Tried to use it outside and all I got was lots of noise it does detect metal but with lots of other noise. I'm very close to power lines so hopefully its because of that. [/QUOTE]
