Battery power for GPs
 

Hi I have a Garmin 2610 The 2610 has to be plugged into the mains or a cigarette lighter to work.
Is it possible to rig up some AA battries and a cigarette socket so that GPS can be plugged in and used while away from the bike and any mains supply.
My street pilot 3 used 6 AA battries and will last about 2 hours.
Or any other ideas how to power 2610 GPS while away from the bike
Thanks

Here in the US I was able to find a battery based phone charger from Energizer. It comes with different connectors for different types of phones. Don't know if you can rig it up to work with a GPS. Here's the link Energizer - Energi To Go Cell Phone Charger for Most Nokia Phones - CEL2NOK

I also saw a flashlight (the type you crank) rigged to work with a cellphone. PopuPlace.com Streaming Videos - Funny Videos Clips - Sexy Video Clips - Game Video Clips - Music Video Clips

Good luck and let us know what you get.

Thanks for replys guys
I found and ordered a 12 volt battery pack from Touratech
It is a box with 8 or 10 AA size batterys inside it has a socket to plug in GPS (need adaptor for cigarette lighter socket) and a mount on the top to attach GPS unit.
I will post a pic when it arrives
