Garmin Edge 800 and Powerchimp...

Post by ericrobo »

I've bought a Powerchimp as backup for my Garmin... it came Saturday... BUT the attachment connector is 13mm wide and the slot on the Garmin is 12mm wide ! So it doesn't fit. I could file it a bit I suppose...
Anyway I've emailed Powerchimp and am waiting for their reply.
(It fits a Garmin Edge 305 fine)

Here's a picture: (If I can work out how to get a picture in...)

I'd just cut it down a bit with a sharp knife/scalpel. It would certainly give you a nice, robust fit.

If you get nowhere with PowerMonkey, let me know. I have a spare "DOPOD" connector that I'd swap with you.

Thanks Scotroutes
I can probably easily file it down a bit.
How do you get the picture in ? (or how would I get the picture in ?)
