I have the new digital stealth cam and was very unplesed with the battery life. My intentions were to use rechargeable batteries. however, they only last one day! I then put in some generic regular batteries and they too only lasted a day or so. I contacted StealthCam and they said the most you can expect to get out of a good set of batteries is 2 weeks, tops. that could mean a big bill to keep battereis in the camera. i just set mine up again last week (wed.) and it is still goining fine. I have gotten to pics of deer, which is neat, but still quite a bit to keep it going. StealthCam also said they are coming out with a solar charger for the camera ($100 or so).
