Description
A CTX 3030 is a machine people keep for a decade, and its rechargeable battery is the one component with a shorter life plan. The genuine Minelab CTX 3030 Li-Ion Battery Pack (part 3011-0299) is the official waterproof-detector pack: the straight swap that brings full days back.
At a glance
Genuine Minelab accessory, part 3011-0299, UPC 811493015903. Fits: Minelab CTX 3030. Official OEM replacement part sold by History Seekers, an authorized Minelab dealer, at Minelab's approved price.
Why the official pack matters on a waterproof machine
The CTX 3030 is waterproof, and that is exactly why battery choice is not casual: the pack seats into the sealed housing and the seal system was engineered around the genuine part's dimensions. The official Minelab pack drops in the way the original did, charges on the CTX charging gear you already own, and preserves the waterproof integrity the machine is trusted for. Many CTX owners keep the alkaline-cell holder for emergencies and run this Li-Ion pack as the daily driver, which is precisely how Minelab designed the system to be used.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the rechargeable pack or the AA battery holder?
This is the rechargeable lithium ion pack. The AA alkaline holder is a different accessory; most CTX owners run this pack daily and keep an AA holder as a field backup.
Will it work with my existing CTX charger?
Yes. It is the official Minelab CTX 3030 pack and charges on Minelab's standard CTX charging equipment.
Does a new battery help an older CTX 3030?
Usually more than anything else you can buy for it. Shrinking runtime on an older CTX is nearly always the pack, not the detector.
