AT Gold - Replacement battery cage and plug

[Erg]

Hi

Looking for a battery cage and the retaining plug that holds the cage in the head unit.

I've sent emails and made calls to many of the Garrett dealers across the country with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Pete

You could try contacting US Garrett dealer Serious Detecting on eBay:

Hi

Im looking for the battery cage and the plug that retains it for a Garrett AT Gold.

Ive asked many dealers here in Australia with no luck. You come highly recommended via a prominent detecting forum in Australia.

thx

Good morning ergslider,

Unfortunately, we are unable to ship any Garrett products outside of the United States. I would suggest checking the Garrett website to locate a dealer near you or one that can ship to you. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and if you have any further questions please let me know.

All the best,
Erin

A while ago erg ,members were looking for the battery cage for one of the AT models ,i think they ended up going to jaycar ,getting the component's and making their own cages

don't know if that's any help or not

They've certainly got the parts, the question is will they sell them to an Aussie:

Any good Garret Importer/Distributor/Dealer can get and supply an AT battery door.

If not I can get the items required.

Could also have one 3D printed, easy as.

Fantastic info all around. Thanks to everyone who replied.

Ive sent an email to the Garrett Australia people so let's see how that goes.

The tip here is dont lose stuff in the first place!

Well, that was quick.

Response from the @sales email address,

-----------------
Hi Pete,

The battery access cover/door is currently out of stock and is expected early next year.

Ill be in touch once theyre in and we can make a sale for this and the battery holder via email (as the cover/door is not on our site)
----------------

So looks like the problem is solved, I've just got to wait a bit.
