Batteries and Charging
CHARGER INFORMATION AND SAFETY
MANTICORE is supplied with a USB charging cable with a
snap-on magnetic connector.
The charge time from completely flat to 100% is
approximately 7 hours when a high capacity (> 2 A @ 5 V)
charger is used. A range of charging accessories are
available for separate purchase.
Any standard USB port compatible with USB battery
charging can be used to charge your battery, however
charge times may be longer if using lower-power ports
or chargers.
CAUTION: Charge your detector with a good-quality
USB charger that has a minimum charging capacity
of 2 A @ 5 V. Risk of USB charger failure if a
low-quality charger is used.
Look for the following marks on USB chargers:
CAUTION: Only charge the detector in ambient
temperatures between 0°C and +40°C.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the detector underwater
whilst charging or when connected to a power bank.
NOTICE: Minelab Metal detectors and accessories
are not intended to be operated while connected to
a mains (AC) charger.
Going detecting with a fully charged battery
is recommended. Typical battery runtime is
approximately 10 hours.
NOTE: All-Terrain High Conductors is a
high-powered Search Mode that will reduce battery
runtime by approximately one hour.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
If the detector is powered On during charging, the charge
time will be longer.
1. Plug the supplied charging cable into any standard
powered USB-A port.
2. Connect the magnetic connector to the Charging
Interface on the rear of the Control Pod. Make sure the
interfacing parts are clean and dry before connecting.
3. The green Charge Status LED on the top left of the
Control Pod will flash slowly. When the battery is fully
charged, the Charge Status LED will remain On.
