Can't beat them. I also see that I can get 1.5 "seasons" out of them and they do tend to die right around the rut - really bad timing. Last season, I remember 2 cameras we let sit from the start of October all the way to mid December - to find out they had died in mid October shortly after deployment, and these were in traditionally ideal locations. We missed some key information we were looking for to connect dots, I'm sure! I need to get a voltage meter. And then need do better inventory, rather than just throwing all batteries in a gallon ziplock with the battery percentage average written on the bag
.
I usually put my best cameras with lithium batteries in spots I can't get to often. Some of the other spots I'll use alkaline, because I can get in and out, as they're checked more often.
We are currently running 33 cameras , so it's hard to manage, but as long as we know the batteries are good, all is well. Typically 1-2 cameras malfunction each year, but that's another topic.
