This will be awesome to go along with my husbands Rino. So far it stays charged for a long time.
the first time I used the alkaline pack one of the metal leaf srpings broke and it didnt work after that.
With moderate use, it will last a 2-3 days. The alkaline battery pack is a must have for the Rino if you're without power to recharge the main battery. The battery pack takes 4 AA batteries and lasts for several hours. It does add a little bulk versus the main battery, and it reduces the radio range to 2W (which made me drop one star), but an excellent insurance policy if you're miles from nowhere. I used it in the arctic with no problems.
Told them it was almost a month, and I just got a request to review service. Four weeks went by, and nothing. The product is a Garmin product - good product as usual.I received a call about 7 days after I ordered from GPS Cheap - said the item was backordered, but it would be delivered about 5 days after the intended receive date. I got a 3 calls the next day and an e-mail claiming they had just received the shipment that day, and it would be sent priority, and received the product 4 days later. Then I receive this request from Amazon to provide a review. I sent GPS Cheap an e-mail - had to prod 'em some. They were definitely responsive, but I had to prod. I would use them again due to their commitment to customer satisfaction.
This is a must have for Rino 530 users that are away from power for extended periods. No need to worry about having your rechargeable pack die on you on a back-packing trip or long excursion. Just bring a pack of batteries.
