cdesigns Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I have a Rino 530hcx with a discharged lithium ion battery, and my charger doesnt want to charge it because is bellow its charging voltage, but I can save it charging it with an RC Charger. My only questions is what is the + and - on the back of the battery were the 4 gold contacts are? can you guys check your voltage on those contact points and tell me wich one is wich? My contacts show 0.00 volts so I have no idea wich one is negative or positive. Any help will be apreciated Quote Link to comment
+PeoriaBill Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The Rino 530HCx currently retails from $350-$450 dollars. Are you sure you want to try to charge it with something other than the factory charger?? Below are the prices for a new lithium battery and an alkaline battery pack. Proceed at you own risk. 530HCx Alkaline Battery Pack (010-10571-00) $24.99 - $22.49 GARMIN GENUINE RINO 530 530HCx LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK $55.96 Quote Link to comment
+G & C Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yea, that's an expensive GPS to be screwing around with like that. I'd seriously consider Peoria Bill's advice and pony up the cash for a new battery. Will probably save you time and headache, and maybe a few hundy for a new GPS should something go dreadfully wrong.

cdesigns Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 I'm actually charging the battery OUT of the radio with a standalone lithium charger for Radio Control lithium batteries, the charger alone is $150. is meant to charge this lithiums if I find the correct + and - contacts. I will not charge the battery connected to the radio Quote Link to comment
