It works fine with 1100mAh Panasonic NiCds, although I do have to switch them out more frequently than with alkalines. The standard capacity NiCds do not work well--they last only a few hours. The key is to use high capacity rechargeables. I have been meaning to try the new 1500mAh NiMH batteries, which supposedly work very well (as one would expect given the high capacity). What is the capacity of the rechargeables that you have been using? If you use your GPS frequently you will find that the cost of disposable batteries adds up rather quickly. Rechargeables are cheaper to use and better for the environment.
