RE: Wildview - rechargeable battery questions
I have 2 Wildview 2.0 cameras (just got them in the past couple weeks). I was going to get the cheaper .3 mp cam but that would not work with my Stealth 12V battery pack (the 2.0 will). I have had on cam on the 12V pack for nearly 2 weeks and still going and it has taken many (100) pics and still going strong. My old Stealth cam would only go 1.5 weeks with the 12V. I am hoping it will last much longer than 2 weeks (we'll see). I have only have the other cam up with regular C batteries for a week (taken 90 pics). I'll report back when the batteries die (hopefully many, many weeks). In comparison, I get 3 months from the Ds in my Cuddeback.
In general, rechargeables will not last as long as regular batteries, but you can recharge them. You need to know the length they will last and change them on a schedule (have a second set). Weeks are good (months would be better). Anything is better that the 3 days my batteries would last in my old Stealth!!! It's amazing to me that Stealths suck down batteries so bad and it appears that the Wildviews are much better when Wildviews are made by Stealth??????
