Heatho said:What they claim their batteries can do is a bit ambitious, "More Power To The Coil Improves Sensitivity", well that would not be quite true to start with. Also I've never needed to change my batteries in a day of detecting, maybe others have but they always seem to last me a full day.
Just sayin.....
I'd sooner go with a set of Accupower from Nenad.
The SDC, like all modern Minelabs, is internally regulated. The increase in voltage would be negligible to sensitivity. The real (& only) advantage would be increased run time IMO. Those getting better sensitivity are likely getting a placebo effect.Norvic said:The higher voltage concerned me a bit at first (Li-ion 7.4v, alkaline 6v or Ni-Mh 4.8v), but the very experienced user I mentioned has had no troubles there and perhaps that higher voltage is why he also believed it has proved more sensitive. Depending on whether the SDC has internal voltage regulation or if not the higher voltage and its stability throughout discharge can increase sensitivity as we know it did on some of the earlier ML PIs.
Regardless being Li-ion batteries stoked my interest and thus my purchase. No doubt time will prove or disprove any claims but like you Heatho and Bogger I have had no problems with Nenads Accupowers running the SDC all day.

Norvic said:Whether Lithium batteries of whatever flavour are the go for the SDC is something time will answer, they certainly are for the great majority of battery powered appliances we use these days including our modern detectors.
