I have had my 2 Trophy Cams out for 8 months each. 14,000 pictures between the 2. I changed my batteries 4 at a time, it holds 8. I have used 12 batteries in each camera so far. It says 8 batteries will last a whole year, well they were close!

my trophycams are defective. i get less than a week out of both of them, and that is WITH lithiums!!! I should send them back. i don't even use them anymore.
actually, one gets a couple weeks and the other only a couple days. $200 a piece. sucks.
Rackluster - send them back. I've had my camera out since mid December with several weeks of -20 degree weather and the batteries still show 2/3 life and those are just the energizer max, not lithiums. I've had about 2200 pictures to go with the long battery life.
Definitely send them back. You have a 2 year warranty and yours are definitely defective. These cams work great, but like with all electronics, something may go wrong........
Thanks,
Joe

i have noticed that the batteries do not sit in the cameras very well. so that could be why the batteries die quickly. they don sit well with the springs. every time i set the camera up i have to make sure the batteries are pushed in. ill set my camera up, and the battery gauge will show one mark. then i notice a couple of batteries not sitting well in camera. push them in and the gauge will jump to full life.
