That stinks. Mine have been out all season. Batteries are still 90% plus.

I put out a Reveal 2.0 and an XB in mid-October. The 2.0 died last week during snow and probably got triggered non-stop and burned up the batteries. XB is still going. I'm disappointed it did not get me to green-up.
Both had Energizer lithium's on mock scrape on a ridge.

Still working with Tactacam but their customer service has been excellant.

My tactacams have been decent on batteries. In high traffic places I get about 5 weeks. In low traffic i had some make it through all season. I run energizer max, have 10 second videos on all of them and all send me them immediately. Some of those aren't in great service areas either.
Best customer service ever. They worked with me for a month on this and we never could get it to stop eating batteries. So the sent me a new cam, which is the newer model. Not even sure if I should say this, but they even replaced my other one that was working fine.

Have 5 of them and their CS is great. I've always ran lithiums but decided to try the rechargeable battery packs. Bought two knockoffs on Amz last summer & very impressed with them. Ordered another bundle of 4 more last week for $80. That'll give me 6 battery packs, so will always have an extra ready to go.
For whatever reason, the battery packs don't fall off as quick as regular lithium batteries. My experience has been that lithiums usually go from 30% to 0 overnight. I purposely let one of the packs go as long as possible. Changed one out last week that progressively went down to 1% and still was taking pics.
