Description
The day your Minelab dies mid-hunt, it will not be the battery's fault. It will be the one charging cable you own, still hanging off the garage bench. The Minelab Magnetic Charge Cable (part 3011-0368) is the snap-on USB charging cable for the entire current Minelab VLF line, and at this price the smart play is owning two: one at home, one that lives in the finds pouch.
At a glance
The Minelab Magnetic Charge Cable, part 3011-0368, is the official snap-on USB charging cable for the Minelab Manticore, the Equinox series, the X-Terra Pro and the X-Terra Elite. The magnetic connector snaps onto the detector's charge contacts, wipes clean after wet hunts, and connects to any standard USB port, including power banks and car chargers.
Why this cable earns a spot in the pouch
Minelab went magnetic on these machines for a working reason: open charging contacts have no port to flood. After a beach or river session the contacts wipe clean or dry off in seconds, which is exactly what Minelab designed this snap-on magnetic connector to allow. The other half of the argument is field charging. Because it runs off any standard USB port, a pocket power bank tops your detector off at the truck between sites, no wall outlet involved. Most dealers list this cable with two recycled sentences and no answers; here is the honest one: it is a spare or replacement for a part you already depend on every single hunt, and a spare costs less than the tank of gas you would burn driving home early.
One cable, every current Minelab VLF flagship
Minelab lists compatibility as MANTICORE, EQUINOX, X-TERRA ELITE and X-TERRA PRO, so one cable covers the shelf:
- Minelab Manticore: same magnetic snap connector as the rest of the line. A Manticore charging cable spare belongs in every Manticore backpack.
- Minelab Equinox series (Equinox 700 and Equinox 900 sold here): Minelab lists EQUINOX compatibility without model restriction. This is the Equinox charging cable to replace a lost or worn original.
- Minelab X-Terra Elite and X-Terra Pro: the same X-Terra Pro charger cable dealers rarely stock deep. Ours ships alongside the machine.
