Just made a contribution to supporting GPSrChive. I did share my mailing address during the process but did not see a specific place to request the battery adapter so am requesting it here. Thanks and thanks for maintaining this great site!

I see now that I should have just put the request into the same box as the address.

The GPSrChive NiMH Battery Adapter was designed from scratch, We tested nearly 50 different variations to refine our design to work with a wide variety of NiMH batteries (they are not all the same dimensions) in all current devices.

Our NiMH Battery Adapter provides an option for those unable to make their own while simultaneously supporting GPSrChive.

Hello,

I would like to know what battery should I use. My question is if the unit will full charge battery with 2500mAh of capacity or should I use only battery up to 2100mAh of capacity.

Many thanks

Any quality NiMH battery will work.

I use 2500 mAh batteries in my Garmin devices.

Hi dear Admin,

I made my own adapter before. But an issue happened for my previous GPSMAP66 while it was charging the battery by USB and tracked my trip. I said previous because My device turned off for ever and never run anymore. I took it to guaranty and they gave me another one.

I never understood what happened exactly but I think I should never have charged it during the tracking or Tracked while it was charging.
