I have a trail camera made by Moultrie, have horrible battery life. Do the rechargeable 6volt batteries work?
I have a trail camera made by Moultrie, it has horrible battery life, when I say horrible, I mean 5 days tops. Do the rechargeable 6-volt batteries with the solar panel work well? Are they worth worth the money? The model camera I have is the Cabellas 4.1 Outfitter Cam Digital Scouting Camera by Moultrie.
Thanks
Joe
I have 6 of these exact cameras. I use rechargeables in all of them (this will save you big bucks in the long run) but when I hook up a solar panel it does not seem to help (if anything I would say it drains it faster, and yes I have the polarity correct) I charge the batteries at home and swap them up when I can. There are a few things that might be the problem. One is old batteries, after a while the rechargeables just don’t hold a charge and you need to replace them. Two if you have the camera set to video it sucks alot of power from the battery, so try switching to still photos. Three if you are getting alot of night time shots the flash will drain the battery, try to reduce the time between photos. Last but not least I believe that some cameras are just not as good as others, I have a few that will last for a month and take 500 pictures and I have others that will die in a few days with less than 50 pictures. I am not sure if moisture in the area affects the life or not but my camera in the swampy area always dies first. Also you will get less battery life in the winter time when it is cold. I know I didn’t really answer your question but at least you have some thoughts based on experience.
