Gps batteries

Jewelers

Hi

Anyone recommend long last aa batteries rechargeable for gps. I have been using powerex for last number of years not sure if last packet i got were duds or company has changed , but they are not lasting as long as ones I had prior .

thanks

I use Ansmann 2850 mAh batteries in my Garmin Oregon. They take a couple of charge / discharge cycles before they reach full capacity but when they do they'll last all day no problem.

It's also important to have a good quality charger that has independent charging circuits for each battery rather than cheaper ones that charge 2 batteries in series.

Ikea's Ladda batteries are Panasonic Eneloops by another name. Well worth the price.

Thanks bedlam never knew they did batts look like great value . Will try the higher mah's ones Alun has suggested as unit is same as mine , thanks for the idea though .

hmmm

Second Eneloops, but I'd get the black 2500 mAh ones. They seem to retain charge far longer than other rechargeables I've used.
