Genuine Minelab accessory, part 3011-0128, UPC 811493013046. BC 10 charger base as pictured, with the battery cradle and LED charge status panel.

Why this base
For a CTX 3030 or GPZ 7000, the BC 10 is the whole charging story: no base, no charge, no hunt. That makes this cradle two different products depending on who is buying. For one owner it is the straight replacement after a base dies or disappears in a house move. For the serious owner it is the second cradle that unlocks a two-pack rotation, one battery on the machine and one on charge, which is how all-day GPZ campaigns actually run. Either way we say plainly what some listings bury: this is the base alone, and we stock the matching power kit separately so nobody discovers the difference at the mailbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the BC 10 charge?
It is the charger base for the rechargeable Li-Ion battery packs used by the CTX 3030 and GPZ 7000 platforms: drop the pack into the cradle and the status lights track the charge.
Does a wall adapter come with it?
No. This is the charger base only, as pictured. The wall and vehicle power sources are sold in Minelab's adaptors and cables kit, part 3011-0290, which we also list.
Why replace or add a base?
Most orders are one of two stories: the original base failed or wandered off, or a two-battery owner wants a second cradle so one pack charges while the other hunts.
Every History Seekers order is packed by people who run these machines in the field. We stock the support gear because ours gets used too. The story is more important than the artifact.
