jobin Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Got a Garmin NUVI for my car a month ago and now want to carry it on my bike rides. Need input 5V @ 1 amp. I want to use common AA or AAA cells. How to do it? Would only use occasionally, never more than a few minutes to learn current location and then ride towards the hiway. Too often getting totally lost and with no idea how to get to any hiway. Plz do not recommend buying the Garmin power bank, nor any other power bank. I want toss away batts.

canthai55 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 AA AAA C D all nominal 1.5v. Will it work X3 ? Only one way to find out. Just tape 3 in series, hook up to Garmin - you will have your answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichiplanet Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 there are portable AA packs that can plug into the Garmin Nuvi https://www.amazon.com/Gomadic-Portable-Battery-designed-Garmin/dp/B0088NUWA4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2462P06911 there are also some for phones that use the disposable AA batteries so that might be worth checking out and some info here on battery saving ideas http://www.gpstraining.co.uk/training-support/what-are-the-best-batteries-for-a-garmin-gps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
