Anybody use rechargeable batteries in their trail cameras? If so, any notably better than others? Thanks Pete

They are too expensive and too unreliable. One battery fails and your done. I've been buying these off Amazon for a couple years and they seem to last forever.

These are the last ones I bought. Seem to do pretty well for me. Right now I’m running them with a solar panel and am going 10,000+ pictures and 6+ months with them. That’s at feeders with lots of activity.

I prefer the lithium. They are made with child labor and the fires are much more dramatic.

Rechargables will work but you get shorter life and inconsistent flash for night pictures as the charge goes down. Some cameras have specific settings for rechargeables, I know some of my brownings do, unclear how much of a difference that makes though. I use lithiums when I'm concerned about battery life, flash range, and night photo quality - so I use lithiums like 99% of the time now. Rechargeables will be fine if those aren't major concerns for you.

Lithium Energizer. Takes thousands and thousands of pics and I get over 2 years worth of life. I just pulled pics from my 5 cameras. They stay up year round and haven't checked pics since last summer roughly 7500 pics and only one needed batteries and its on the third year. I do not take movies.
I have Bushnell trophy cam. Each camera takes 16 AA batteries.

Thanks for posting this.
They list at 3000 mAh, not that I truly trust any manufacturer's claim.withput verification.
I cannot find the same info for Everready. Anyone know?

I went to Reveal Tactacam Cell Cameras with solar panels. I got tried of spending money on batteries. The solar panels pay for themselves pretty quickly, depending on what camera settings you are set at.
