[QUOTE="Hirschkopf, post: 3854437, member: 50724"] I set up my first and only (so far) camera in early June. It is a Reconyx Hyperfire 2 cellular. Used 12 Ever-ready Ultimate Lithium AAs in it. The percentage showed 100% until about mid-August. Then it fell to 50% and 25% quickly. I shut off night photos and flash to conserve power until I make the 1000 mile journey to Da Ranch. It is still taking daytime photos of deer and hogs. I’m bringing a Reconxy Solar Power supply. The thing is relatively huge, includes it own battery, and plugs in via a 12’ cord. The other battery option Reconyx suggests is a specific rechargeable battery. The Solar Power supply does not charge the batteries in the camera even if they are rechargeable. Reconyx suggests using lithium batteries as a back-up to solar in case there are many days of heavy overcast or something caused the cable to become unplugged. The Reconyx Solar power supply can be daisy-chained if one is inadequate. [/QUOTE]
