Garmin rhino 750
Alright gents need some help with this. My rhino has the rechargeable battery but I thought it could also be made compatable to take aa/aaa batteries. If anyone knows how or what i need to do please let me know. Rather not deal with Garmin agents again as was a bloody nightmare last time.and shit service.
Cheers team

Looks like you need a special AA battery pack (available separately, of course) to use Stand AAs. https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webh...29BF2B213.html

Contact Tony Savage at KiwiGPS
I picked up a battery pack for my rhino 650 from him. Much better service n pricing than H&F etc
I have the following as a contact

Found a kiwi site based in Chch that do them for $50. Cheers guys! For future references the website is MapWorld Home Page

i’ve got a couple of 750’s and have battery packs from the garmin nz website. they are all good but you can only run 2W radio vs 5W with the lithium pack
-
Get a car charger unit too. I use that and have hardly ever needed to swap over to the AA battery pack.
-
out of interest how long does it take you to charge the lithium battery? mine take almost a day
-
Via the car charger yes it’s takes forever. I thought it was a problem to my car power socket!
-
yeah that’s why i got the AA battery packs as a backup
-
where do I get a car charger for my 650 @SiB?
-
yeah my one has a USB cord and i plug that into an adaptor in the car. Into the kawekas for 4 1/2-5 days and want to make sure i don't get lost. Am going to download topo 50 on my phone and will take a map and compass to be sure as well. Rather not set off the PLB
-
Nah just go for a wander. Can't get lost in the Kawekas :thumbsup:
-
haha cheers for the advice @Dorkus ! Now guys i did just buy the AA battery pack from map world and it only cost me $49+ postage of bugger all so pretty happily. Highly recommend using them as they seem to have a heap of gear. @madmaori try them for the car charger
