does anyone use rechargable batteries for their trailcams? i was thinking about picking some up so they would save me money in the long run, but do they work with trailcams as good as any regular battery?

hunting-addict: If you check back 3 or 4 pages, there is a post by the member heinz57 as "What type of c batteries", on 07-06-2010, 11:48 P.M. I replied to it. I'm using these in Spy Point IRB (C batteries), 2009 Bushnell Trophy Trail camera (AA batteries) and WildView EZ Cam (C batteries). The Bushnell and Spy Point are set for 30 second video with 10 second delay. The WildView will only take pictures in a 3 shot burst. Spy Point and Bushnell, the batteries stand up good with Bushnell being the best. WildView can be easy or hard on batteries. This camera is tempermental. The rechargeable batteries are by Pure Energy. They are expensive, but once you have them, there is a great savings.

I'm using the Energizer 2500 mAh 1.2 V D-cell batteries for my Moultrie I-60 trail camera....so far they have been working fine and they last fairly long since its warmer weather,when it gets really cold they don't seem to hold up as good but I always carry an extra set with me when I think they may be getting low and I write the date on each battery so I have an idea of how old they are and how long each one last?I actually have 18 batteries....6 for 1 camera,6 for the 2nd camera and another set of 6 as my back-up batteries that are charged and ready to be used at a moments notice!They have saved me a lot of money in the long run...I'm thinking 2 batteries cost around $9.95 so I got a small fortune stuck in them...please don't do the math for me....I may get depressed!


Any ways if its going to be a while before I can check my trail camera I buy the Dura-cell coppper-top batteries and they have last for over 4 months thru the coldest months of Jan,Feb March and April.
