At a glance
Genuine Minelab accessory, part 3011-0406, UPC 811493017211. Four Minelab-branded AA NiMH rechargeable cells, 2450 mAh at 1.2 V each, markings visible in the product photo. A complete battery set for the Vanquish 340, 440, and 540. Official OEM accessory sold by History Seekers, an authorized Minelab dealer.
Why this pack
The Vanquish 340, 440, and 540 keep their price down partly by running on ordinary AA cells, and that is only an advantage if you stop feeding it disposable ones. This is Minelab's own answer: four high-capacity 2450 mAh rechargeables, matched as a set, that pay for themselves in a season of weekend hunts and then keep going. Most dealers list generic cells or nothing at all; the genuine set means the brand on the batteries matches the machine, and the capacity is at the top of what AA NiMH offers. Charge four, carry four spares, and a Vanquish never has a dead day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which detectors do these power?
Minelab supplies this pack for the Vanquish 340, 440, and 540, which run on 4 x AA cells. They are standard AA NiMH batteries, so they also serve any other AA-powered gear in your kit.
Does it fit the Vanquish 360, 460, or 560?
No. Those newer Vanquish models run on a built-in rechargeable battery charged over USB, so they take no AA cells at all. This pack is for the AA-powered 340, 440, and 540.
Why these over alkaline AAs?
Capacity and cost over time. At 2450 mAh these are high-capacity cells that recharge hundreds of times, so a Vanquish that hunts every weekend stops eating disposable batteries.
How many come in the pack?
Four Minelab-branded AA cells, as pictured, a complete set for a Vanquish.
