A friend has an AKA Signum, he is quite satisfied with it, but he complained to me that the detector simply "eats" batteries.
When I checked, depending on the operating mode; detector consumes from 150-280mA !!!
So I added this case for 3 higher capacity 18650 batteries in series, a switch, an LED and an LM317 regulator set to exactly 9V.
The LM317 has a heatsink, but after 20 minutes of operation the heatsink remains quite lukewarm.
I don't have time to get serious about this detector, I haven't even tested it outside the room.
It looks impressive in the room. Quite a nice detector and seems to me to have potential.
Aka Signum can have high current consumption... especially when you use the Turbo function..which increases the TX of the Detector..
You made a good move Ivconic.. Li-Ion Batteries are ideal for such a detector..
AKA INTRONIK is already ready to use Li-ion cells 18650...
