>From Dan Hagen: >I have been meaning to try the new 1500mAh NiMH batteries.. Are those around? Pls let me know the brand and how it works out if you try them. Hope I don't need a new charger - again.. Of course, I use a charger made for NiMH. >What is the capacity of the rechargeables that you have been using? It says 1300mAh on the NiHd:s I bought but I feel a bit skeptical about that figure. I was really surprised to see how fast they got drained so now I've let them "run dry" to recharge and try again. I have been powering a Psion 3a palmtop with rechargeables for years without any problems but it struck me that perhaps the Garmin needs higher, constant voltage so that might have been the reason the unit shut down after such a short time. However, it seems to work just fine for others -sigh- Rgds Niilo *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue May 18 1999 - 02:51:16 PDT
