2. Older batteries will generally have less power
than newer batteries. Batteries purchased
many months ago may not last as long as
batteries purchased recently.
3. Temperatures below 32˚F (0˚C) may reduce
battery life 50% or more.
4. The more images taken the fewer days the
camera will operate.
5.
Video consumes more power than still images.
6. Night images require considerably more power
of day images.
7.
Night video requires considerably more power
of day video.
8. Night illumination range will be reduced as
battery power weakens.
9. Lithium batteries will perform better in cold
temperatures, and may perform better overall.
You can maximize battery life by using the camera
delay and video settings wisely.
1. A short day delay (FAP to 5 seconds) will
deplete batteries more quickly than a longer
delay (15 seconds to 1 minute).
2. Using shorter video length (10 seconds) will
extend battery life.
3. At night a longer delay (15 second of more)
will extend battery life.
4. Minimizing burst mode will extend battery
life (select 1 or 2 images).
Recommendations to maximize battery life
Trails and Scrapes. On a trail or scrape a FAP or 5
second delay is okay to use because trails typically
do not have a lot of activity (compared to feeders
and food plots).
Feeders. A short delay on a feeder will generate a lot
of images and can deplete batteries quickly. Do you
really need a 5 second delay to capture dozens of
images of the same animal? A delay of 15 seconds to
1 minute will extend battery life and still capture all
the deer.
