[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5024366, member: 1409"] Thanks for the explanation, Andy! Trail cams should have a similar warning to disregard the battery monitor if lithium batteries are used. Trail cams should also have a warning that they may stop working (temporarily) if using alkaline batteries when temperatures fall below freezing. Using alkaline batteries in cold weather, the user may not be aware his cams are not taking pics properly, as they resume back to working once the temperatures rise. Often, this is a case of the cams not working in the wee hours of morning, but may not resume working again until after sunrise, causing you to miss getting pics of deer coming by at that peak time between dawn and sunrise. Keep in mind, we're paying to get pictures, 24/7. If your cam is not working 24/7, you're paying for something you're not getting. Once you consider [I]ALL[/I] the costs associated with getting those prize pictures, such as the number of trips, [U]and the number of pics you get[/U], how many hours daily your cam operates properly, sometimes, particularly in December & January, lithium batteries may become the lowest-cost option.
