Reeds Lithium Ion batteries are working hard for Australian prospectors for nearly three years and the very first ones are still going strong. They were a revolution, when they first became available in March 2003. Not only the reduced weight compared to the traditional lead acid battery, but most importantly the 8 hour running time at a constant voltage of either 7.3 or 6.8 Volt were the major advantages of this system.

There was a great deal of speculation amongst prospector as of the life span of Lithium batteries and even safety warnings that they could explode or damage your detector. None of the large number of batteries, which we sold in the past years all over Australia and the US did ever explode or caused any damage to any detector and there has never been any reason why this should happen.

The manufacturers expectations regarding the life span of our LiIon batteries were about twice as long as your lead acid battery and. Most of our very early batteries are still running to their full capacity. The Li Ion batteries in our pack are especially made for Reeds. They never spend any time on the shelf – neither do our batteries, they are usually sold, before they are manufactured.
