Some rechargeable batteries don' t put out as much voltage as alkaline batteries. This could effect how the camera operates. I' d check with the manufacturer or in your owners manual. More than likely the batteries just won' t last very long.

Well I tried the rechargeables this past two weeks. Not too sure how long the things lasted. Went out to get it after two weeks. Batteries were dead. Had to put in some new ones just to rewind the film. I rewind for quite a while though. So I' m hoping there is a few pics on the film. I' ll find out today when I go pick them up. Thanks

just wanted to let everone know that i used mine for 2 rolls(24 pictures_) the last time then i needed to change the batteries. i left the camera out each time for a week but on the 3rd role when i went back to get it there were only 3 pictures on it . when i walked up to the camera it went off only after about 45 seconds of standing in front of it as i took it off the tree. i used name brand alkalines. since i plan on using the camera only a couple times a year i think a new pack of 8 aa batteries for 5$ is just the cost of doing reliable business so rechargeables wont do for me!

I have a friend of mine that has one. Still waiting on a report.

I have a Deer Cam and occasionally I get blanks as well. I have learned that if the camera is in the shade and is facing an open area where the sun is shining it will some times take pictures when nothing is out there because of the temp. difference. The deer cam is one of the best on the market and some times it gets confused. But when there is a deer out there it is usually right on.

One other thing to keep in mind is that all the cameras work off of a sensor that picks up heat and movement at the same time. If the ambient temp is around 90-95° and a deer walks by, most of the time it will not take a photo because it doesn' t sense a heat difference. What I mean is that the deers body temp is equal or less that the outside temp and the camera just doesn' t pick it up. A common problem in the south. It is not the brand of the camera it is just the way all of them work. They all work the best when it is cold out because they pick up temp. difference alot faster.

Good Hunting

I have been using rechargable batteries every since last christmas, If you buy a good rechargable battery it will work fine, get a Ni-MH battery what ever that stands for, they are to replace high rate alkaline batteries. I just recharge them after every couple rolls of film and they have saved me a pile of money. I' m fixing to buy me 4 more C-cell batteries so I can have a set ready and charged when I need them. I was really going thru the Duracell Ultras and them things get expensive, but if I did' nt use a good battery sometimes I could' nt get 1 roll taken before they went dead especially in real cold weather. Its rechargables for me all the way now, I know the goods one are a little pricey especially after you have to have a charger too but it saves money in the end if you take alot of pictures. My camera and unit takes 4 c-cells and 2 aa' s in the camera, My charger can charge both size batteries at the same time, and is fully charged in just a few hours if they are pretty well run down.

Here are some pics I got off mine this past weekend. My batteries have lasted 3 weeks this last time out and the low battery light was not even on. I was using Duracell Ultras.
