Looking for some truth on this. Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Moultrie I-40.... Is it true that the (6 D Cell Batteries will run for as much as 150 days??) Thats what the add says anyway.

In the dead of winter this I-40 will have long battery life? Bitter Cold with D Cell?

Please let me know...I need clarification that this cam is not using an external source to produce these results....before I buy...

I had to hook a 12V external to my Stealth Cam to get a month. Thanks.

My first set of batteries lasted over 6 months.

I am only on my second set so thats as much as I got.

Thanks JM.....Unreal how an internal batt. can last so long...

My first set lasted from the first weekend in October to the first weekend in January with temps in the single digits at times.

The battery life on the I-40's is very good. But batteries do not do good intemps under 20 degrees for extended periods of time. That's when I put in a good set of rechargeables that are capable of handling the weather better incold temps.

I just set out two brand-new D-40s yesterday. I'm hoping for similar results as I've heard the same reports about those as well.

Greg I can tell you from personal experience, the D40s are hit or miss. The I40/M40 is a much better camera.

NOW you tell me, Mike! [8D]

Nah, I couldn't pass up the price on these babies, and seeing as how my last camera was a 35mm Stealth which ate batteries faster than my dog can chew up a rib bone, I figured anything would make me happy. Stil, I hope I got some good ones.

I used 4 of them in WI last winter and never had to change the batteries.....they were out for over a month.

I'm getting 5-7000 pics and about 6 weeks off a set of batteries in my D40's. It's a highly active site though, I bet they would last longer if it wasn't sitting over a corn feeder. [8D]
