My headphones stopped working. I tested the battery - left answer phone message at Joan Allen's but no phone back as recorded. so, I decided to source a new battery. Found one on eBay £5.50. all ready wired so all I had to do was cut the wires in the phones and solder to battery wires (with some heat shrink sleeves). Hey presto all working fine for less than the cost of returning them under warranty.

Your choice but a good result. I guess the duff battery was under a year old and that you were not bothered about the rest of the Manti headphones warranty. :thumbsup:
Good things come to those who wait.

Joan Allen went out of business a couple of months ago so you’ll need to contact the Minelab distributors if you have any repair or warranty issues going forward. Is that Crawfords? I can’t remember.
Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking

Yep, Crawfords are the distributors.

no, can't believe how cheap (as in rubbish) they are.

The quickest way to find out is to open them and look at the markings on the existing one.

There is a fairly standard numbering system which describes the three physical dimensions in cm/mm.

The battery will be 3.7v and you want the same physical size, and the same or greater energy capacity (marked on it in mAh).

The only other thing is whether it has two or three wires. There are also different size connectors but if you're going to snip them off it doesn't matter.
