Garmin 60 csx
**Trojan**
Ultimate Lithium batteries and they don't seem to like the garmin it
starts but then the screen fades away. the batteries are good I tried
them in a flashlight and they worked very brightfor several minutes. I
hoping somebody might have a suggestion.
Thanks for any help!

Too much voltage. Use them for a while in your flashlight to drain off some
power and then they will function in the 60CSx and still last longer than
normal alkalines.

Old versions of software support 3 choices of batteries. Newer ones
drop support of LiOn. Using a pair of 2800 NiMH should be good for the
whole day.

*blink* Are you *sure* about this? They're *supposed* to deliver 1.5 V
nominal just like every other AA cell. They just do it for longer
because they've got a higher energy density and a sharper drop-off
curve. And wouldn't pre-draining them kind of ... miss the the point of
a higher-capacity cell?

discussed on other boards. My 76CSx does have a battery setting for
"lithium". I would hope the OP would come back and confirm my
recommendation.

The "open circuit voltage" of an AA lithium cell is about 1.8V, while
that of an alkaline cell is about 1.6V. The specs for the lithium
batteries say the voltage under load is within the specs for AA
batteries, but maybe the 60C(S)x doesn't supply enough load to bring the
voltage down far enough.
This battery compatability seems to be the one visible area where the
60Cx and 76Cx differ.
At firmware revision 3.50, the description for the 60Cx says
"Remove lithium ion as a battery choice."
For the 76Cx it says
"Remove lithium ion as a battery choice. For 76x add lithium battery
choice."
Apparently the 76Cx is now programmed to compensate for the somewhat
higher voltage from lithium batteries, but the 60Cx is not.
I put a pair of lithium batteries in my 76CSx when I went on a two-week
trip to Europe a few years ago because I knew I was going to be using it
a lot, and those two cells lasted the entire time.

That's for properly setting the discharge curve estimation so that it
properly estimates the amound of charge left in the cells. A device
expecting alkaline cells given lithium cells would (on a four-segment
battery indicator) might show four bars for 24 hours, then 3 for an
hour, then die completely, instead of four for 5 hours, three for 3
hours, 2 for 3 hours, 1 for 3 hours, before failing. A "heavy-duty"
carbon cell under simlar missetting might show four bars for an hour,
three for 5 hours, two for 2 hours, one for 2 hours, then fail, and
externally-charge nicads might never show more than two bars even fully
charged (they have a lower initial voltage), but do so for 16 hours.

be a disadvantage.

Did the screen option actually say "LiOn" ?
as I thought that was a rechargeable type,
and I hadn't seen it in the standard AA form factor ?
ps56k
Lithium AA format - standard AA cells have the standard 1.xx voltage
the Ultimate Lithiums I have sitting here just measured 1.79v
However - Lithium Ion - as found in most internal rechargeable packs,
also can have the AA form factor...
BUT - are usually used for building high capacity power packs.

My 76CSx has the lithium battery option as well.
While I did use them on my 76s (sucks more power than the CSx)
I use standard NIMH rechargeable on it. Spent a week in Mexico,
had it on lots there and the entire 5 hour flight home.
(wanted to see the track of the airplane.
Still had 2 bars.

Yep. Now the battery setting show only 2 choices (NiCad & NiMH) .
