SOLD Garmin GPSMap296 SOLD
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2025 12:12 pm
SOLDAs mentioned elsewhere I am clearingout all my flying stuff over the next few days.
I have dug out my trusty GPSmap 296 to find the battery is as flat as a pancake:
It works perfectly in all modes and has found itself via the almanac with correct time, satellites etc, when plugged into a power source but just will not charge.
Is there any way to charge a dead battery or is it a bin job?
I'm clearly not going to buy a new battery as I don't know if anyone will buy it but is there any market for it with a dead battery? I would let if go for not much money - how much is it worth- ?
I can fit a new battery if there is any interest, but will charge a bit for the faff.
(It works perfectly from an ext power source but clearly no battery backup if ext power fails.)
Advice/interest welcomed
TIA
