Ok. My wife bought me a cheap ($50) camera for me last year. It hold 4 C batteries. I have to change the batteries alot. I get lots of pics but it is redicoulos. I plan on buying a better one, but am going to keep this one also. I'm thinking of of hard wiring in a external 6 volt Remington rechargable. I have to strap it to the tree also, but $10 for the bat and $10 for the charger seems like an affordable option so I can keep the cam. Has any one else done this?
