Recharable batteries?

[Reddirt24]

What kind of rechargeable batteries do y'all use in your trail cams, if any? I've been using rechargeables for 4-5 years now but can't seem to find one that holds a good charge. I know the camera has a lot to do with it on how quick they eat them but I still think I should be getting more out of them. I bought some of the Energizer ones this past year and they are so-so but nothing special. Also have Rayovac, Enercell, and Amazon brand.

I use these and really can't compare these to other brands cause I've never used any other brand.

I have looked at those and wondered if they were worth the money. I may have to try them.

They are, and they are the only thing I use in my cams these days. You will not be disappointed with them, just make sure you purchase a quality charger that does not charge them too fast. Slow, or "soft" charge is always better than a quick charge.

E neloop or Sanyo..seems to be the best.

^^^^Panasonic bought Sanyo back in 2010, mainly for their batteries. https://www.cnet.com/news/panasonic-finally-buys-up-all-of-sanyo/

What charger do you have?

This exact one. I also have a 4 bay charger so I can charge 12 at a time. I ordered both from Thomas Distributing back in the day, but you can see that Amazon sells it too.

This one would be fine too, plus you can charge 16 at a time, which is nice.

I have that same MAHA charger as Andy, and it may be he told me about it a few years ago.
Works well.
