I'm using the Energizer Rechargable batteries (2500 mAH rated capacity,NH50 1.2 V HR 20) in my Moultrie I-60 trail camera...!I believe they cost around $10.00 for 2 batteries and I have 12 of them so I have 2 sets of 6 to change out in my camera's and bring the other set home to start charging for the next time I happen to have a "Low Battery" sign on my camera.I have noticed that when I charge them up and put them in my trail camera they never really show a full charge in the camera itself...it usually shows around 70% to 80% charge at the most and they last fairly long.Now the other day I put the DuraCell Copper top battery's in my other I-60 camera and they have went through Jan and on into Feb which is the 2 coldest months we have had in several years and still show at least 75% charge so I will get around 2-3 months or more on the DuraCell's alone and as the weather warms up they seem to be doing better and I have been getting over 200 pictures or more a week.My Moultrie Camera will use up the battery life faster if I put it on "Video Mode" also.

I tried to find the DuraCells batteries in Rechargable D size but haven't seen any in the local Stores...maybe they don't have them in the D-cells but I have bought them in Rechargable AA and AAA sizes and seem to have better luck with them than the Energizer batterys!
