Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin Alkaline Battery Pack for Rino 520 and Rino 530 (010-10571-00)
Customer Review: Loss of 530 transmit power - better batteries available
Summary: 2 Stars
This adapter uses normal AA batteries to run the garmin 530, which uses 2 Li-Ion cells at about 7.5-8.0 volts to transmit. With 4 rechargable AA cells, you get about 5-6 VDC. That loss in voltage translates to a loss in transmit power - you are confined to the 2W setting while this is installed.
Skip down a few products and you will find the original battery that came with your garmin 5xx series radio - 2 Li-Ion hi capacity cells with about a day's runtime. Best part is you get the full 5W transmit when you really need it.
A good formula for transmit distance is 2x watts = miles (and that's it)
2W = 4 miles
5W = 10 miles
(I know they say 12 miles, but that is under ideal conditions, believe me - 10 miles is doing really good for a 5W radio with built in antenna)
Now, knowing this - if you're way out there and calling for help - do you want 2Watts or 5Watts when you press the PTT button? The small difference in price now could be substantial gain later.
