Lightweight battery

[Since1981]

Hi Folks - has anyone had experience / recommendations for a lightweight alternative battery to the ML battery for GPX machines? Ones like the Docs GoldScreamer type, LT, Reeds etc. that can be attached to the control box. I'd like to get the weight off my back and be rid of the curly cord. Thanks.

Thanks, Grubstake. I did read that one but I am really looking more for something that is commercially available rather than a DIY. Information across all forums is pretty thin on the ground - I was hoping someone would have info about a pack they are using (or have used). Thanks again for replying.

Just to let anyone interested know - I bought the Reeds EQ Spirit. It is a real bonus not having to be connected to the detector. Works well with both ext speaker and with the Koss headphones. Battery length and recharging times are very good. Simple 3-step operation to turn it on, 1-step to turn it all off. Also acts a booster. Just have to contact Reeds to see if I can somehow get rid of the annoying "boing" sound at shutdown.
