[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5024191, member: 131"] The reason Energizer AA lithiums show 100%, then voila they’re dead is because they are hot right out of the package, literally 1.7-1.8 volts instead of the 1.5 volts they’re advertised at. Once a lithium AA measures 1.4 - 1.5 volts, it’s on the verge of dying, yet the trail camera battery meter is still showing 100% due to the 1.5 volt reading. The L91 Energizer AA Ultimate lithium battery discharge curve below shows how they hold voltage very well over time, and then suddenly tank, rendering them useless in short order. In a way, it is similar to NiCd/NiMH cells. Typical AA alkaline batteries have a gradual drop in volts that most trail camera battery meters can detect and display as a gradual drop over time (90%, 80%, 70%, etc), where as lithium AA cells hold a high voltage level, then drop off suddenly (100%, 50%, 0%).
