I ll have to try and rig something up Cheers Andrew Title: Re: sovereign xs 2 pro alkaline battery adaptor Post by: Chef Geoff on October 04, 2011, 05:37:35 PM I could draw you a picture lol. The most annoying thing is I threw mine away, they were hopeless they came in two parts that you had to clip together.
I just got another rechargeable, there is still a guy on ebay who sells new li-ion bats from time to time and I can vouch they are very good. This is his last add; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Minelab-Sovereign-XS-Lithium-Ion-battery-and-charger-/260819311842 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Minelab-Sovereign-XS-Lithium-Ion-battery-and-charger-/260819311842) It may be well sending him a message.

I ll send a message to him fingers crossed Cheers Andrew Title: Re: sovereign xs 2 pro alkaline battery adaptor Post by: Chef Geoff on October 04, 2011, 05:54:10 PM If you look at his feedback you'll see he's made and sold loads of them so you should be ok. They are good and charge up in no time even from the car.
Good luck ;) Title: Re: sovereign xs 2 pro alkaline battery adaptor Post by: Passingclod(Andrew) on October 23, 2011, 05:23:42 PM Hello
Still no luck on the alkaline battery adapter front.If theres anyone technically minded please PM me with suggestions to an alkaline alternative to the Sov xs 2 pro.I have the two pods but the connector I need for alkalines or rechargables.its holding a charge on the Nicad pack but not for as long as i need .

Thanks for the replies.Dint get an answer from the fella on Ebay Geoff. Thanks for the pictures Viv.There must be some internal wirirng inside the adapter? Im thinking of going with an external battery hip mounted too.Been searching the net and there seems to be some alternatives just trying to get my head round them.Any advice on an external 12 volt pack and how to wire it up gladly appreciated.

Thanks Viv thats the thing that I m trying to get hold of but not having any luck doing so. Cheers Andrew Title: Re: sovereign xs 2 pro alkaline battery adaptor Post by: beachboy (viv) on October 24, 2011, 07:50:32 PM andrew,have you tried laura at detecnicks.viv
Title: Re: sovereign xs 2 pro alkaline battery adaptor Post by: jase on October 21, 2012, 12:45:49 PM any luck on the xs2a battery.
i`ve got same detector and only one batter so considering making up a pack for it. the removable cover will hold 10 aa rechargeables and shut ok, so its just a matter of soldering a connector to the 2 points on either side of the original battery connector for the pack to plug into. this is the pack configuration that fits, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-2600mAh-AA-flat-NiMH-battery-pack-Tamiya-/230861044723?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item35c063fbf3.
