Don't make the same mistake I did and put cheap Dollar General batteries in your cameras. They leaked in two of my cameras and one is a total loss. The one I lost was a WGI that I've had for 5 years.

I've bought them two different times and they are good for about 500 pics. I'm using browning strike force cameras, so I know it isn't the camera. Plus other batteries do great.

The best batteries for price and longevity are Amazon batteries. Read reviews and you will see that they have the best rating above all but energizer and are much cheaper.

Only duracell, or energizer for me.

I use the grey top alkaline batteries from DG in all my moultrie and browning cams. Best battery I've ever used. Good for 1,000's of pics.

I use DG batts. Never had an issue and I run them in several cams a couple of years now.

Are you using DG's heavy duty or alkaline ?

I'm pretty sure it's akaline. I will have to check and make sure next time which they are.

Just wondering because the heavy duty ones are junk nothing even close to the alkaline.

A lot more love for DG batteries than I would have guessed. Sorry if I hurt some feelings. The ones I picked up were $1 for 8 AA. They did not last long.

Get the 20 pack of alkaline. The heavy duty suck

I just make a general rule never to use off brand batteries. I'm glad several of you have good luck with them though.
