WTB Explorist 500le AAA Battery Pack


Recommended Posts

On the hijacking note... I found 2 batteries along with charger for about $20.00 including shipping. They haven't arrived yet, but here's hoping they hold a charge for a decent amount of time. I am still on the hunt for the AAA holder as my unit didn't come with one...

 

Mind if I ask where?

I'm still trying to find the rechargeable battery that fits my Explorist 500. Anyone?

Not a recommendation or endorsement but:

simply do an ebay search for "magellan explorist 500 battery charger"

 

Lots of dealers selling for less than $20 for 2 batteries and a charger. If you get a charger with the USB receptacle on it, you can use the data cable to charge the battery without removing it from the unit.

 

Secondly, stay away from the AAA holder unless you need it for an absolute emergency. With Alkalines, it might last 5 hours on the lowest backlight setting, much less on rechargeables and much less at a brigher more readable backlight setting. The battery pack is rated for 14 hours on low and is quite a bit less on high, but still at least double that of AAA's.
