i ran rechargables for years. then i got smart and went with 12v battery in a waterproof box. go for a year or better.i settled on browning cameras.found out after a while the battery boxes corroded to where they didn't work anymore. plugged in a 12 volt and they came back to life. stealth cam makes a power cord, but i'm making my own now.harbor freight for the boxes.batteries where ever i can get the best deal.

I run Panasonic Eneloop lithium ions in all my Browning cameras. Done so for the last 2 years. They last longer than any alkaline, period. Late last December I refreshed all the cameras with new batts and left them. I pulled the cameras in late May, all but one were still recording to my 32 GB SD cards. Unreal! Can recharge over 2,000 times. Buy a 4 bay Nitecore charger and don't look back.
If you do have a trail camera warranty claim, do NOT tell them you used lithiums. These companies have deals set up with Duracell exclusive and may not honor your claim.

I bought my batts on Amazon. $38 for 16 batteries you can recharge 2100 times! Yes, HayDay, the battery indicator sometimes says they might be only half charged, disregard. They will last. Just change them out with freshly charged batts when you pull SD cards. A good routine to get into. https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-BK...mp;sprefix=panasonic+eneloop&sr=8-12

This simply isn’t true.

Anyone use a camera that takes the 18650 batteries? I've got headlights that use them so I've got a charger already. I was just wondering about battery life before having to charge. My headlights use them up pretty fast but they are super bright.

This simply isn’t true. I was told this directly from a service tech at Browning cameras. The "contract with Duracell" part was related to me from a friend who manages a retail sporting goods store. I cannot verify if that is a certainty.

You sure the tech didn't say rechargeable, not lithium? Browning specifically recommends using either lithium or alkaline, but says not to use rechargeable because they don't provide the correct voltage. This is the exact quote from their site: For optimal performance of your Browning Trail Camera we recommend using Browning branded batteries and Energizer. The batteries should be standard alkaline or lithium batteries. We do not recommend using rechargeable batteries as they have less capacity and lower voltage. Rechargeable batteries will not operate your trail camera reliably or at its full potential. It's not even legal for a camera company to not honor warranty work based on battery brand, I think your friend probably misunderstood something.
