I had the camera set up for 2 pictures per event so there was this one and one after it but of course it had nothing in it. I'm using the Moultrie rechargeable batteries. Temperatures were in the 40 for the most part. There might have been a few nights below freezing but nothing exteremely cold. The battery still had 98% left. But it only took 2 pictures. Hopefully I'll have more success in the other spot I put the camera and we'll get a real test of how it compares to the homebrew.
