Hoosier Slayer: Check the batteries with a digital meter. If any of them show around the 1.0 volt area, cameras will not operate properly. Not all batteries drop to the same voltage level. This is why I do not rely on the battery indicator bar or percentage. In the Moultrie cameras, if using an Energizer rechargeable battery, fully charged, the camera will only show approximately 75%. Energizer on the package shows 1.2 volt. Testing will show 1.2 to 1.28 volt. Put these batteries in a charger, they can be boosted up to 1.38 to 1.44 volt. I think Moultrie software only recognizes the 1.5 volt or higher reading to show 100% when the batteries are new. Good luck.
