Ni-Cad Battery Pack and Charger
An optional Ni-Cad battery pack and charger are available to power your
GPSMAP 175. Each battery pack contains nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad)
batteries, which store a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused
or abused, especially when removed from the unit.
To recharge the Ni-Cad battery pack:
1. Attach the connector end to the unit by sliding it into the slot on the right
side of the unit. (Observe the keyway on the unit and the matching groove
on the connector end.)
2. Plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
Do not charge your GPSMAP 175 for more than 24 hours with the battery
charger system. Heat generated by overcharging can shorten battery life and
cause battery pack component failures.
