What’s everyone using?
I tried an external battery/solar panel set up that Cabelas used to sell, and it worked OK but not great. I went back to Energizer lithium AA’s, and in the 4g Spartans, I’m getting 5000+/- pictures from a set (12 batteries) which is impressive since the older 2g and 3g cameras wouldn’t send 1000 without crapping out.
With the current cost of lithium AA’s, I’m going to start using external batteries and solar panels on all my cell cams. I’ve been testing it on one camera, and it’s worked flawlessly for almost a year. I just ordered two more batteries to set up 2 more of my cameras.
I will continue to use lithium AA’s in my non cell cams.
This wouldn’t be as big of an issue if I could just run out and check my cameras after work if there is a problem, but I’m 500 miles away and need something that‘s going to work.
So far, this is working.
