My Camtrakkers run on 4-" c" cell batteries, there is
no battery for the camera which is nice. During
warmer temps (above 32 degrees) I will change
the batteries every 5-6 weeks....during cold
weather (below 32 degrees) I' ll change them
every 3-4 weeks.

I put new batteries in at these times before
they run dead. It may lose some $$ with battery
life, but the last thing I want is a camera hanging
on a tree with dead batteries[:@].

I have yet to check a camera with the batteries
dead, so I really don' t know what the actual life
of the batteries would be, though I doubt it would
be much longer.
