A compatible Garmin handheld can be plugged into any standard USB power source to recharge this pack.
Recommended Power Sources:
- Garmin 12v Vehicle Power Cable
- USB 110v AC Charger
- Computer with USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports
Like most rechargeable batteries/electronics, Garmin Outdoor Handhelds have built-in protection against too much power being received and will have lighting bolt symbol reflected on the device screen.
With a standard power supply, a full recharge should take around 3-4 hours and allow for roughly the same battery life as any other disposable or rechargeable batteries.
NOTE: When the Garmin NiMH Battery Pack is installed, the System menu will change. The AA Battery Type options are overridden and removed from the options list.
1Due to physical design constraints, Garmin NiMH Battery Pack compatible handhelds will not recharge any other type or brand of rechargeable battery.
