+jewhenco Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I have had my Magellan Explorist for 8 months. Eats up batteries. Replaced batteries often. Just recently I replaced the batteries again but unit will not turn on. I checked batteries in battery checker and they are fully charged. Lithium ion batteries are A-OK. I had a Garmin Etrex Legend before this one, and the same thing happened. Batteries were always good, but unit shuts down over and over and will not run for any length of time, so I bought the Magellan Explorist to replace it. Now I have no working unit whatsoever. Can anyone tell me how to get my unit working again? Any advice would be appreciated. Desperate to continue geocaching. Quote Link to comment

Normally they can replace the unit very quickly. Magellan -Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST/PDT Telephone: 800 707 9971 David Magellan Insider Quote Link to comment
