Haha…I buy the 48AA packs from Sam’s. I keep mine set for 5 min intervals over feed during the Spring/Summer. On cams that are on trails I’ll keep to 0 seconds. On hog cams I’ll switch them to 60min during the day and set them to 5 min and hour before dark. If pigs show up I’ll drop it to 30sec for sneaking purposes. My batteries normally last a couple of months or so this time of year.
My only issue with Lithium is they’ll show 100% until they die, lol. At least on cell cams. And all my cameras are Spartan cell cameras When I was running regular trail cams regular AA’s would last almost a year.

Rechargeable? Lithium in the winter they last longer in the cold, summer just good quality Alkali can get 4-5 months for much less cost.

Regular Energizer AAs is what I use in all cameras except my Spartan cell cam.
I use a rechargeable 6volt sealed battery in a Harbor Freight 30cal ammo box for the Spartan. Use a bungee cord and hang the battery box on back of tree. About once per year charge is all that's needed for 10s of thousands of pics.
