It seems my batteries really do not last long. I tried different brands but with little successful difference.

What types/brands of batteries would you all suggest?

Thanks for suggestions.

What kind of camera?

Best bet is solar powered pack.

This right here

I have 2 reveal cameras. I put lithium batteries in them with the solar chargers in around March of 2025 and haven’t touched them since

Get a cheapo lithium rechargeable from amazon and a solar panel.

I use cheap lithiums from Amazon on my cameras that get the most action. Solar panel won’t work for me in the woods.

This is the way baw.

You’re looking at $60-$70 bucks per camera and you’ll be set.

I have 2 Muddy cameras with homemade solar packs.

1 has 17k+ pics, the other has 18k+ pics on the original batteries.

Solar panel if your getting over 50 pictures a day. All my tactacams and wise eyes have yet to be changed.

I have a wise eye using lithium in Kansas. It’s been up there since mid September without a battery change.

I use Amazon batteries. Usually they last the season but I only get my pictures 2-4 times a day to limit the drain.

Does WiseEyes have a good color option?

I appreciate the advice. We do have some solar setups, but in some bottoms, solar just does not work.

May need to adjust your settings.

I ran my tactacam for almost 2 years on energizer lithiums using minimal yet still functional settings.

I use Reveal trail cams with the solar panel for battery life. In other words no batteries are needed. I have 4 of them and love them.
