I do a hell of a lot of hiking by myself and with groups of people.
We are are all day long hiking in the woods and geocaching.
Been able to go 3 or 4 days straight on one set of batteries.
If you want to go longer on your batteries you can switch to Expedition Mode.
I have no idea how you have your 66 setup.
If I use it in my car I am running on the car battery via the the old cigarette light power and have no need to use the batteries in the 66.
The adapter is the one that goes between the 2 batteries that lets you charge the 66 without having to take the batteries out.
In the GPSrChive store
Garmin NiMH Battery Pack (with the adapter)
or
GPSrChive NiMH Adapter (sold alone to be used on other chargeable batteries.

Expedition Mode places the GPSMAP 66sr into a low power state and can extend battery life up to 21 days.
Only GPS (L1) satellites are used while Expedition Mode is active (Multi-GNSS and Multi-Band are disabled).
The Status LED next to the power button will flash green once every 5 seconds to indicate Expedition Mode is active.
