bomb280 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Wanting to buy a AAA battery clip for the Magellan Explorist series. It allows you to put 3 AAA batteries in the Explorist in place of the LI-ION battery. Can't find one in stock anywhere online or ebay. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+SWAK9802 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I spent three months talking to Magellan to get mine. They kept sending me the wrong parts. I finally got the battery clip and it is a really tight fit that it's a bit of a pain to remove when I need to get to the memory card. Quote Link to comment
+btl-a4 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Try this guy. http://billsgps.tripod.com/ he used to do warranty repairs for magellan in canada. I have gotten items from him in the past (cables, battery doors, ect.) It's been a while since I've needed any explorist parts so I have no idea if he still has items laying around. Might be worth an email to check. Quote Link to comment

I just purchased an extra for $6.00, and that included shipping. It works great. This is what I'm looking for: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=...0CAcQ8wIwADgA#p Ignore the price on that page. They sell for about $10......if you can find one. I'm going on a long backpacking trip and will have no way to charge the Li-Ion battery once it goes down. I can pack as many AAA batteries as I need. Thanks Edited September 24, 2010 by bomb280 Quote Link to comment

Might be worth an email to check. I tried Bill in Canada. Nice guy. He has some, but they are bundled with GPS units. He won't break the bundle. He said, "good luck finding one", and "you have no idea what I went through to get my hands on one". I may have to make my own. I will keep you posted and hope I find one in the next week or two.

+btl-a4 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Just buy a 500LE off ebay. Then resell the unit without the adaptor on ebay. Probably cost you less than $20. Quote Link to comment
+not tom Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I have one but not sure if I should let it go. I got it with a special purchase for some accessories for my 400. Give me a day or so to decide. Quote Link to comment
+not tom Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 $15 includes mailing. Send me an email if you are still interested. Quote Link to comment
