9 Battery Life
Trail cameras consume very little power in standby mode. A single set of batteries can last
for several months in low traffic areas where the camera receives a small number of
triggers. Battery life is determined by, SD card, the number of photos & the duration of video
that the camera records. Recording at night places heavier demand on the batteries as the
camera’s Infra Red Illuminator is ON. Temperature effects battery life, a particular brand of
batteries will last longer during summer than they will during the colder winter months.
You can maximise battery life by:
• Using high quality Alkaline batteries
• Using high capacity NiMH rechargeable batteries
• Recharging NiMH batteries as soon as practical following use
• Never store NiMH batteries in a discharged state
• Always replace all 12 batteries at the same time
• Never mix different brands or types of batteries
• Avoid cheap bulk batteries
• Record only short segments of video
• Minimise false triggers by ensuring proper camera set up
• Select a lower quality video or image quality
• Use a quality SDHC sd card
