Long life, temperature sensor, and a spare is great
Rhino's use alot of power. The 530 has extra sensors to plot the atmospheric pressure so you know if a storm is headed your way. Both the 520 and 530/hcx transmit with a whopping 5.0 watts (as opposed to 0.5 watts in FRS with alkaline batteries in the disposable radios) - with 5.0 watts you can go a long way. You can turn down the power if you want to save it. You can adjust screen backlighting, but inevitably you will drain your battery in a half a day of talking on the high power radio wit...

Its a Garmin Battery
This item is identical to the battery that comes on the Garmin Rino 530. You will need this battery if you want the temperature read out to work on the 530 unit. The battery has a device which I believe is a thermocouple that provides the temperature reading. I wanted a spare battery for my 530 and got this as backup for when I'm camping.

If you need the power, it will get you there.
The original batter pack died after 2 years. It could not even get off 0%. Of course, out of warranty. This OEM Battery pack, is a factory replacement. This got me able to keep track of the gang all day long and talk to them on the slopes.Hope I get better life out of this one for the price, that is why this don't get a 5 star. Just make sure you dispose of the old one properly. These things burt into flames and polute the landfills.

Back up battery for Rino 520 & 530s
Best back up battery for 520 & 530 Rinos. When connected, show % of charge. A little heavy for hiking use. Allow full 5 watt transmit capability as compared to alkaline back up pack( limited to 2watt). Lasts full 16 hours specified, with average transmit use. More expensive than Alkaline pack, but worth the extra value.

Garmin Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
Purchased as a backup to my Rhino 530 GPS, worked as expected in the backcountry wilderness of Montana. Small, compact and relatively light. Charge last as advertised, ~14-16 hours.

530HCX battery
As advertised. 14-16+ hours of use per charge while using radio, much longer if you don't use the radio .

Great product, highly recommend if...
Great product but I haven't really needed it. Don't buy unless you are planning to be out for days at a time. The battery that comes with the Rino, has great run time, so this back up proved to be unnecessary for me.

Purchasing Replacement Batteries
I have purchased 2 new Garmin battery packs, from different sellers, One was from Amazon & the other was from E-Bay neither one would take a charge, I returned them and received a new one that did work. I think that is odd that some of these batteries work and some don't.
