4Good accessoryOct 21, 2009
By Jeremy Mahowald "Grizz"
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. With moderate use, it will last a 2-3 days. 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.

5Good to have.Aug 26, 2007
By D. Hill
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.

2Loss of 530 transmit power - better batteries availableAug 20, 2007
By HMMWV "God, Country, Corps"
This adapter uses normal AA batteries to run the garmin 530, which uses 2 Li-Ion cells at about 7.5-8.0 volts to transmit. With 4 rechargable AA cells, you get about 5-6 VDC. That loss in voltage translates to a loss in transmit power - you are confined to the 2W setting while this is installed.

Skip down a few products and you will find the original battery that came with your garmin 5xx series radio - 2 Li-Ion hi capacity cells with about a day's runtime. Best part is you get the full 5W transmit when you really need it.

A good formula for transmit distance is 2x watts = miles (and that's it)
2W = 4 miles
5W = 10 miles
(I know they say 12 miles, but that is under ideal conditions, believe me - 10 miles is doing really good for a 5W radio with built in antenna)

Now, knowing this - if you're way out there and calling for help - do you want 2Watts or 5Watts when you press the PTT button? The small difference in price now could be substantial gain later.

5Fine backup, but know it's limitationsMay 10, 2011
By Whitesheep
This is a great accessory and an alternative to the high priced original battery for general hiking and hunting use. My friends and I use the 500 series of Rinos for hunting, so we usually run the radio at 1/2 watt because we are generally within 1 mile of each other. In this mode the lithium batter will last for days, but the AA pack is there if you really need it. It also provides a nice way to carry backup batteries for other AA items like headlamps or cameras. If you are really worried about having access to 5W of power in an emergency, you could use the AA pack as your main battery and "save" the original for emergencies. If you're using this for mountaineering where you want to be in contact with a base camp several miles away, a spare original battery or two would be better choice.

5Great backup for the stock rechargeableFeb 06, 2011
By OCDuke
Great backup for the stock rechargeable battery. I keep this loaded with fresh batteries in my pack as a backup. Just in case I run out of charge in the stock rechargeable.
Must have! It has saved my but a few times.
