Garmin Vehicle Power Cable, For Rino 520/530, 12V

Overview

The Garmin 010-10570-00 is a 12-volt vehicle power cable that plugs into a standard cigarette-lighter style outlet to keep a Rino handheld powered and charging while you are underway. It matches the Rino 500 series power connection used on the Rino 520 and Rino 530, which makes it a practical way to run a handheld from a 12 V accessory socket at the helm, inside the cabin, or in a chase vehicle on the way to the ramp.

This cable charges the Rino rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and can power the handheld while it is connected. The radio transmitter is still powered by the device’s rechargeable battery, so transmitting depends on having a charged pack installed even when external power is plugged in.

Key features

• Plugs into a standard 12 V cigarette-lighter or accessory outlet for in-vehicle or on-boat power.
• Molded Garmin connector fits the Rino 500 series port used on Rino 520 and Rino 530 handhelds.
• Charges the rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack while powering the handheld.
• Radio transmitter remains battery-powered, which helps avoid unexpected transmit dropouts when external power is present.
• Cigarette-lighter plug includes removable fuse protection to help protect the cable and connected equipment.

Compatibility and fit

This is the vehicle-style power lead for Garmin Rino 500 series handhelds and is commonly used with the Rino 520 and Rino 530. It is not a USB charging cable, and it does not replace the radio battery requirement for transmitting.

Installation and setup

Connect the cigarette-lighter plug to a 12 V accessory socket, then connect the molded Garmin plug to the handheld. On a boat, routing the cable so it is supported and not pulled tight helps prevent intermittent power when the console is bouncing. A dry, protected mounting area for the outlet helps keep salt spray out of the socket and reduces corrosion on the contacts.

Use on board

This cable is a good match for boaters who keep a Rino handheld at the helm for backup position checks, dockside moves, or tender trips and want to keep the battery topped up between stops. It also fits crews that rely on the handheld for location sharing and radio coordination and want a simple way to keep power available during longer runs.

Maintenance and care

Wipe the cable and plugs with a lightly damp cloth after use around saltwater, then let everything dry before stowing. If power becomes intermittent, inspecting the accessory socket for corrosion and checking the plug’s fuse are quick first steps.
