I have 2 standard Minelab batteries for my 3000. As I only come back home to WA for a month every year, is it OK to just store the batteries or should they be regularly charged? Cheers, Dennis |

Hello Dennis, My understanding is batteries (camping/caravan & detector) need to be stored fully charged and at least once a month give them a few hours trickle charge. To simplify this I use the 1st of each month as trickle charge time. Hope this helps. Peter |

Thanks for that, Peter. I will ask my daughter to charge them for me. Dennis |
