Energizer lithium’s. And that Tactacam eats 12 of em at a time I find batteries and cameras strange. I've got more Spartan's and Moultrie's than I care to admit. Some eat batteries like candy it seems. There are spots, on even different properties than I've tried different cameras at the same location and the batteries don't last. Some I don't change for months at other locations and they are taking about the same number of pictures. It's like the cell signal is different or something. I've got 1 spot that I've tried 3-4 different cameras and I can't get more than a few weeks. It does get expensive.

Energizer lithium’s. And that Tactacam eats 12 of em at a time If it’s over a feeder they will all eat batteries. You can also adjust your send times to once a day or twice a day. I use regular old AA alkaline batteries in mine and they last a long time if not sitting on a feeder. I’ll stick to $100 cams and replace the batteries once or twice a season.

I have 2 Spartans and one Moultrie and there is no comparison in picture quality as the Spartans are a lot better. The Moultrie is good for day pics but the flash is not very deep and the deer need to be within 15' of the camera to get a really good pic. I would buy another Moultrie just because they are cheap, easy to set up and you don't have to deal with a cell company.

Using Energizer lithiums and still plenty of battery on a feeder. I just adjusted settings and seems to be working well. Decent pictures. Don't mind 12 batteries if I get good life out of them.
