Thats all bull... either the camera is not set up right or the camera is having problems. Moultrie is yanking your chain..... One year old batteries will not work, even if they are in date ??? yeah , right.

I will not use rayovac batteries ... poor quality ..... but I do use 6v rechargables in my moultrie digital flash cameras ... I bought some that are the size of lawn mower batteries and fixed up the wiring myself. They last for weeks and weeks , taking 750 pics in each camera a week. I had problems once, and called Moultrie .... they told me some crap like what they are telling you , I took the camera back to the store and swapped it for a different one...... PROBLEM SOLVED.... The camera was having issues, not me and not my batteries, and not my SD card....

Anyway, one of the main guys there returned my call and I told him what I thought of their assistance.... he cried on my shoulder about being a small operation and only a limited number of employees .... I told him that that does not make up for bad advise or blowing customers off or for a poor product....

It seems that bad batteries are their answer for everything.

Oh well, take this for what it's worth to ya....
