One of the hardest things to estimate when speaking in terms of a trail camera is battery life. There are many variables that must be considered when trying to calculate the power consumption of your trail camera such as; the mode of operation being used, the number of pictures or videos taken, how many of the pictures or videos taken occur when the flash is needed as well as the temperature.
It is recommended that a good quality alkaline or lithium battery such as Browning brand, or Energizer be used. Using the recommended batteries will provide not only optimal performance of your trail camera but also provide the longest battery life possible.
