Barracuda problem
Hi
I just finish my second barracuda from Silverdog kit.
The detector is working fine, but some times it start to doing some beep beeps beeps.
I re adjusted inside pots, coil and cable and first time seems that was the coil wich i replaced for another one with 50 ohms coaxial cable. After this all returns to normal after i had the idea to paint my coil has i always do. First try was fantastic, but next day after 5 or 10 minutos of work the beeps beeps return. Then i checked my lead acid 12 V 1.2 A battery and i measure 11.6 volts. So to make shure the problem it was not the battery, i charged fully. THen i try the detector on the filed for about two hours and no problem at all.
I know this looks that the problem ws finally my battery, but the person who uses this detector had this beep beep problem, re charged the battery and the problem persist. I change the coil and it was fixed until i got the problem again till i re charge the battery.
My concern now is if this could happend again after more use or is really a problem with the baterry.
Any ideas?
In advance many thanks
Nelson
