    Garmin rhino 750

    Alright gents need some help with this. My rhino has the rechargeable battery but I thought it could also be made compatable to take aa/aaa batteries. If anyone knows how or what i need to do please let me know. Rather not deal with Garmin agents again as was a bloody nightmare last time.and shit service.
    Cheers team

    Looks like you need a special AA battery pack (available separately, of course) to use Stand AAs. https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webh...29BF2B213.html

    i’ve got a couple of 750’s and have battery packs from the garmin nz website. they are all good but you can only run 2W radio vs 5W with the lithium pack

    Get a car charger unit too. I use that and have hardly ever needed to swap over to the AA battery pack.

    Via the car charger yes it’s takes forever. I thought it was a problem to my car power socket!

    haha cheers for the advice @Dorkus ! Now guys i did just buy the AA battery pack from map world and it only cost me $49+ postage of bugger all so pretty happily. Highly recommend using them as they seem to have a heap of gear. @madmaori try them for the car charger
