Backup battery for a 4500
Firstly can I replace the battery in the battery pack of my Minelab 4500? or does ML need to do it? or it cannot be done, and new battery pack is required.
If so then I am looking at a Minelab unit or Coiltek unit, I understand the Coiltek battery can be replaced, is this correct?
if both ML and CT are around the same price and functionality would prefer the ML battery.
Prospecting mate is happy with his Lucky Lark but I understand these battery packs are no longer made.
Comments appreciated.

Hi Peter,
The batteries in your ML battery can be replaced, but it is a bit of a dangerous exercise for someone that is unaware or the dangers associated with soldering Lithium batteries to perform. It would be better for you to PM a member here that has the username Mechanic, as he has been known to replace the original batteries for other members with high quality, extra capacity ones, at a fraction of the cost of a new battery.
PS Your location is marked down as Aselaide, I am presuming you mean Adelaide?

Hi Peter, I had Mechanic rebuild a battery for my 4500 a few months back, I ran it on the bench and was pleasantly surprised with the run time, I have since used it in the field on 4 separate prospecting trips for 6-7 days at a time, I am able to get 12-13 hrs runtime out of it before recharging, I alternate it's use with my other battery and I have not taken it to shutdown point as yet, I can find no fault with it and would recommend you talk with Mechanic.
