XP Deus Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Battery Chargers

2. XP Deus Emergency Field Charger/Flashlight/Battery Charge Indicator

Being very convenient and sufficient, the XP Deus wall charger sure eliminates necessary charging of eight NiMH rechargeable batteries or battery packs before each hunt as well as carrying the weight of the back-up sets of batteries during hikes to the remote hunt sites. However, it is too early to set aside the old good NiMH batteries as they still can be very useful not only for powering the headlamps, pinpointers and GPS units, but also for charging the in-built LiPo batteries of the Deus' three vital components - a search coil, headphones and a remote controller!

The XP engineers designed an Emergency Field Charger (retail price: £12.95 ($16.95)) which utilizes one AA battery for charging each of the XP Deus' three LiPo batteries in the field: 30-minute charge time provides extra three hours, and 1-hour charge time provides 5 hours of battery life! Take a dozen of fully charged NiMH batteries with you on your extended outing at the hard-to-access area, and you will have many extra hours of treasure hunting time away from any electric power source including your vehicle. Now the XP Metal Detectors manufacturer offers another useful accessory - a Solar Charger, that is the "must have" for those Deus users who love to explore remote metal detecting sites.

The XP Emergency Field Charger comes with a mini USB cable and a 5-LED torch (head attachment with a 1/8" plug). Unlike the XP Deus' wall charger, the emergency LiPo battery charger can only charge one battery at a time; hence it is best to have three emergency field chargers so that you could simultaneously charge all three LiPo batteries in the field.

With the torch conversion, the emergency charger can also be used not only as an emergency flashlight, but also as a visual indicator for the battery's strength without using a Voltmeter - a voltage measuring device. To switch the emergency flashlight on, you simply turn the battery cap clockwise.

Of course, on today's market, there are various emergency USB chargers, including solar chargers like the above-mentioned one, with higher rated capacity than of the XP Deus' emergency field charger, but I like using this miniature charging device for its multi-functionality, and when the sunlight is not available. Do not forget to equip yourself with the XP Deus Car Charger (retail price: £18.95 ($24.95)) as well!

It is also practical to have an extra Charger Clip (retail price: £12.95 ($16.95)) for the Deus search coil if you plan to charge it during your metal detecting session in the field. The search coil clip is an essential item because one can not charge the search coil battery without it. And if you take the clip in the fields and accidentally lose it or break it, you will have a major problem.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

In January of 2020, I started a one-time fund-raising campaign in attempt to accumulate enough money to buy a simple but reliable 4x4 vehicle. My old 4x4 car (made in 1995) had faithfully served me for 10 years before it eventually went beyond repair last October. Without a 4WD, I will not be able to get to my hunt sites and test-plots hidden in the remote wooded areas inaccessible by a regular car.

Unlucky for me, those sites are the only locations available and suitable for my field-work which results in informative articles you can find on this website. For the past 10 years, my usual field-work has consisted of field-testing the latest metal detectors and accessories, experimenting with some of them, and devising new effective search methods that meet the requirements of the new metal detecting reality.

Before my car died, I managed to finish a couple of interesting detector-testing projects which will be covered in my upcoming articles. But other equally important projects that I was working on were not completed and had to be postponed until the Spring 2020. I hope that this fund-raising campaign will help me get a decent 4x4 by then so that I will be able to resume my work and to write more new articles, tutorials and guides based on data gathered through testing and experimentation.

If you find my website useful and would like it to provide more essential info for you and other detectorists worldwide, please consider chipping in $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can afford to keep MetalDetectingWorld.com growing in 2020. I promise you, it will be money well spent. Thank you.
