RnB Power-X Battery Now Works With the Nokta Legend 2 (Plus Minelab Manticore & Equinox)

By Bart Davis – Owner, Big Boys Hobbies Metal Detectors

One of the most common questions we get from serious detectorists is simple: “How do I get more run time without worrying about my detector dying mid-hunt?”

If you run a Minelab Manticore or Minelab Equinox, chances are you’ve already heard of — or used — the RnB Power-X USB Power Pack. It’s been one of the most reliable external battery solutions out there for years.

Now we’re happy to officially announce that the new version of the RnB Power-X also works with the Nokta Legend 2. If you want to see the Legend 2 we keep in stock, here’s the direct link: Nokta Legend 2 Metal Detector.

Why This Matters for Nokta Legend 2 Users

The Nokta Legend 2 is a true workhorse. It’s the kind of detector people take out for long, serious hunts — farm fields, parks, relic sites, and beach trips where you don’t want to pack up early because your battery is done.

The RnB Power-X solves that by giving you:

• Extended detecting time (often effectively doubling your runtime)
• More peace of mind on long hunts and rally weekends
• Less wear on your detector’s internal battery over time

One Battery Pack That Covers Multiple Machines

What makes the Power-X especially useful is that it isn’t a one-detector accessory. The updated version works across a wide range of popular machines, including:

• Minelab: Manticore, Equinox 900 / 800 / 700 / 600
• Minelab X-Terra: X-Terra Elite, X-Terra Pro
• Nokta: Legend 2, Legend, Simplex (using included adaptors)

If you run more than one detector — or you plan to upgrade later — this is one accessory that can carry over with you.

What’s New in the “New Version” Power-X

This isn’t the original Power-X from years back. The new version includes:

• Improved locking clamp system for more secure mounting
• Better stability to reduce sliding or twisting
• Rubber adaptors to fit different stem shapes (including Nokta’s trapezoid stem)
• USB-C input for modern charging convenience

On round-stem detectors like many Minelabs, the fit is extremely solid. On Nokta trapezoid stems (Legend series), the included adaptors give a secure fit for normal detecting use.

How It Powers Your Detector

When connected, compatible detectors draw from the Power-X first before relying on the internal battery. That means longer sessions and less stress on your built-in battery.

It also doubles as a standard USB power bank for phones, wireless headphones, pinpointers, and other gear in the field.

Need Help Picking the Right Setup?

If you’re not sure whether this is the right accessory for your detector, stem style, or hunting style, reach out before you buy. When you contact Big Boys Hobbies, you’re talking directly to me — no call centers and no scripts.
