[QUOTE="condor22, post: 450718, member: 1932"] I'm looking at 20700 Li-on, I have the adaptors. What peeves me re the nimh is the recharge time, I have a set of Minelab 5000 mAh and another of Accupower 6000 mAh. My experience is that for every hour I use them it takes near an hour to recharge i.e. 5 hours run, 5 hours charge time. That's not too bad when on mains, but most of my recharge comes off the van battery off grid, with solar. The actual current draw AH on the battery is not huge, but the charger does take longer than when on mains. From others I've spoken to, using the 20700 - 4000 mAh, using the detector for say 6 hours the 20700s take about 2 hours to recharge, so much quicker. I know several that are using them and 18650 - 3600 mAh with no issues re the extra voltage. I'm told the SDC will take up to 8 volts. My SDC is still under warranty, so I am being a little cautious :) [/QUOTE]
