Twelve Pointer
Figured I would let you guys in on something I have learned over the past 2 seasons. Basically, if you aren't using 12 volt batteries on your trail cameras you are doing it all wrong. Before I go any further I will say this. I am putting the use of a 12 volt battery for trail cameras on par with Thermacell. Yep. I said it.
In particular, my wife and I run a pile of Stealth Cam Cameras and we use their 12v batteries. Anyway we all know with AA batteries a camera can run a month or two or maybe 3 depending on the camera, settings, and how many photos. (Obviously this varies greatly from camera to camera)
Last year I put out a Stealth Cam and a 12v rechargeable battery in July (2016). I ran that camera until somewhere around March this year and I only pulled it so I could move the camera and I charged it for the hell of it. It was still going strong.
They are $40 bucks, and they are worth every penny. You dont even have to put AA batteries in the camera, it will run solely on the 12v. Long gone are the days of spending $15 on a pile of batteries every month and trashing batteries that still have enough life to run a Tv remote but not enough to run a camera for another week.
