[Garmin 450 and batteries]

Hi

 

I'm finding my 450 is constantly eating batteries. Normal alkaline ones don't seem to last very long, I've never had much joy from rechargeable ones - maybe the ones I have are too old?

What's the best solution? Lithium? Lithium rechargeables?

Try the Lithium, they last longer than alakline, We went through alkaline in less than two days, the Lithium have been at full charge for two weeks. It is worth the extra money.

Often when discussing features of the website, the point is raised that many of the people who might feel one way, or another about a given topic never actually say anything because the forums are so hostile.

 

Another good point that often comes up is that the forum is where people come to learn about caching, and we should try give the best impression we can.

 

I'm curious to know how many people are out there quietly taking it all in.

 

There really is no topic here, so you can't post off topic. And since there is no topic, there needn't be any arguing either.

 

Feel free to use this thread to say "Hi", and introduce yourself.

Wife and I just starting geocaching about a month ago, we are having a blast,for me its the journey and the search and the actual find is the topping. It gets me outdoors in all kinds of terrain and allows my Canadian wife to see more of our area. She is loving it. Actually she is somewhat addicted. LOL. She likes the number of caches we find, as barometer of how we are doing, so far 169, she seems to never be satisfied, she is very competitive.I need to keep up with her.
