I have two older models, Im not sure of the model numbers. Both use the 6 volt type, ive tried Durcell and other types, but now im using rechargeable. No more than a week do they last.
I've used a lot of the older Moutries and the use of a 6V battery was the main drawback to these cameras. One week's worth of battery life was about it, and sometimes not even that. You could usually get a little longer if you added one of their solar panels (but not much). This problem was solved when Moultrie switched to D batteries. Battery Life is now one of the strong points on these cameras. I now mainly use my older Moutries as decoys for theives. They are pretty useless as cameras. Save yourself a lot of aggravation and go bye you a couple of the newer Moultries (D-40). You can find them for about $90-$100 online.
