Description
Thousands of GPX 4500s and 5000s are still pulling gold out of the ground every week, and the one part that genuinely wears out on them is the battery. The genuine Minelab Lithium Ion Battery (part 3011-0227) is the official 7.4V 9.2Ah pack that keeps a pre-6000 GPX doing what it has always done.
At a glance
Genuine Minelab accessory, part 3011-0227, UPC 811493014081. Fits: Minelab GPX series prior to the GPX 6000 (GPX 4000/4500/4800/5000). Official OEM replacement part sold by History Seekers, an authorized Minelab dealer, at Minelab's approved price.
Why this battery keeps a classic GPX alive
The pre-6000 GPX platform earned its reputation on deep gold, and a healthy battery is most of what an aging one needs to hunt like it used to. This is the official Minelab pack: 7.4V, 9.2Ah, in the sealed metal case with the built-in charging LED, printed right on the label. It is the exact fit for the GPX harness and cabling, with no adapter improvisation. If your original pack is running short days, this is the honest fix, and it is a smart part to buy while it is still in distribution: Minelab supports its classics for a long time, but not forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit the GPX 6000?
No. The GPX 6000 uses its own smaller pack, part 3011-0432, which we list separately. This battery is for the earlier GPX generation: GPX 4000, 4500, 4800, and 5000.
Is this the battery with the charging LED on the case?
Yes. It is the official silver-cased Minelab lithium ion pack with the power port and charging LED on the end panel, rated 7.4V 9.2Ah.
My GPX 5000 still runs strong. Is a new battery worth it?
If your runtime has shrunk, yes. The battery is the wear item on these machines; the detector electronics routinely outlast several packs.
Every History Seekers order is packed by people who run these machines in the field. We know which parts fail, which spares earn their keep, and we stock them because we have needed them ourselves. The story is more important than the artifact.
