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:
