At a glance
Genuine Minelab MANTICORE Battery, part 3011-0486, UPC 811493019161. Minelab's own listing: Replacement battery for MANTICORE, Li-Ion 25Wh. Sold by History Seekers Metal Detectors, an authorized Minelab dealer; same-brand fitment, Minelab's own description, nothing invented.
Why this part
Minelab lists this pack as the replacement battery for the MANTICORE: 3.6 V, 6400 mAh, 25 Wh. The MANTICORE manual rates the machine at about 10 hours of hunting per charge and about 7 hours to charge, and those figures depend on a healthy pack; a battery that has lost capacity is the usual reason a MANTICORE stops making a full day. It is a MANTICORE part only; the EQUINOX and X-TERRA packs are different.

Using it and keeping it working
The pack is internal, so fitting it means opening the control box on a clean bench with the seal in mind; charge the new pack fully through the USB cable before the first hunt. If you would rather not open the box, call us and we will route it to Minelab service.
