Did you switch to Lithiums now that the weather has dropped?
You'll have better luck with them.
Where is MO is it supposed to be -3 tonight because I'm showing low of 29 tonight and 14 tomorrow night here in central mo.

How big of a difference would you say you are getting from your lithium batteries pnut? Just curious, I have never tried them and untill your post on my thread, didn't know they made a difference. Every little bit counts!

here in Northwest MO...maryville area suppose to get a foot of snow and be -3, the high is suppose to be 15 for tomorrow...but no i have not switched to lithium's...i have a few i could use but i have never heard if they actually did better in cold....right now in all 3 i have just regular Energizer in them....i am curious too...how do the lithium's perform?

I noticed a pretty big difference in the SG last year using Lithiums when it got cold but it takes AA's. This is my first year with Cudde Captures and they take C's and I don't even know if they make Lithiums in C's and D's yet. Couldn't find any last year when using D's in a Moultrie M60. I was planning on checking this week but not in a rush cus I just put new alkaline duracells in both my Captures about 3weeks ago and wanted to see how they did in the cold. Tonight will be another good test with the freezing rain we're supposed to get.

exactly how did you notice the difference in lithium's and regular?

What do you mean?
Alkaline's do horrible in cold weather, lithiums are made for it. Alkalines work harder in cold weather which eats up life. Try'm, you'll see what I mean.

i mean like more pictures?? or longer life?? or what lol im lost im not sure i could tell the difference either way....im not sure how big of a difference they would make....

How hard is it to understand that batteries made for cold weather will last longer than alkalines that will deteriorate faster in cold weather?
