Though you can get a long life out of rechargeable batteries. They don't hold as much juice as the non-rechargeable. In addition the rechargeable batteries will lose it's charge over time.

I was getting about 2 weeks with regular batts in my stealth. Switched to rechargeables
and now I cant get a week.
I am going to rig my cam up to a 12v batt.

I had better luck with the rechargeables in the stealth 35mm than I did with regular batteries.

Just one more reason why I love my Leaf River digitals. I get between 2 and 3 months of battery life from them!!

Just bought a Stealth Cam and used rechargeable batteries in it. They lasted roughly a month. Just reset it yesterday again with rechargeables.
