Dealer listings agree it serves the Excalibur II and the earlier 800 and 1000, and not the original first-generation machine. Official OEM part sold by History Seekers, an authorized Minelab dealer.
Why this adaptor
On a machine built to live in salt water, the charging connection is the one interface that has to stay perfect on land. This little threaded adaptor is where that happens, and it leads a hard life: threaded and unthreaded after every hunt, splashed, sanded, and occasionally cross-threaded in a dark garage. When an Excalibur mysteriously stops charging, this fitting is the first suspect and the cheapest fix. Serious Excalibur owners keep a genuine spare in the dry box for exactly that reason: it is the difference between a two-minute swap and a machine sitting out a swell window waiting on parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Ikelite charger adaptor?
It is the threaded adaptor fitting, as pictured, that connects a charger to the Ikelite-style battery connection used on Excalibur machines.
Which Excalibur models does it fit?
Dealer listings converge on the Excalibur II and the earlier 800 and 1000 models, and note it does not fit the original first-generation Excalibur. Unsure which you have? Send us the model details before ordering.
Why keep one as a spare?
It is a small threaded part that lives in salt air. Corroded or cross-threaded adaptors are the usual reason an Excalibur stops taking a charge, and the fix costs less than a service ticket.
