 | Rechargeable batteries are slightly larger in diameter then normal
batteries. For tight fitting battery compartments like the Garmin 45, you may
have trouble removing them.
|
| GPS units do not have recharging circuity within them so don't expect them
to be recharged if you plug in an external power source.
|
| The battery indicator will not read a true reading of the state of the
batteries. When rechargeables are fully charged they may still read only
90% on the battery gauge. Also they battery gauge will tend to read high,
maybe 50%+ until about the last 10% of the batteries charge. This
is a characteristic of the way in which rechargeables discharge not a
fault with he GPS unit. |
