I have had respectable results out of just cheap rayovac batteries. I always catch them on sale this time of year. Lowe's had them for 5.97 for 36. At that price I doubt there is a significantly better option. they usually last all deer season for me That's cheap. One set will last you the whole season or 36 covers you for the whole season?

Regular Duracells. I get over 5,000 pics on a set when it's around freezing temps. Even more when warmer.

I had some external batteries for 2 of my cams but they stopped working. These will be on public land so the lower the profile the better. I just want to put them out and not have to worry about the batteries going dead after a week or two. Id like to get a month or two out of a set if possible

I get mine on amazon ... 100 packs range anywhere from $18 -30 with free shipping. .. was buying the duracell but going to try the ac delco for $18 see how they do.

From my experience, the lithium batteries aren't worth the extra cost over the regular Duracell.

I use cheap batteries for external and Sanyo enloop batts for inside my cams. The regular battery charges the rechargeable. They usually last about 6-8 months
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

I use Eneloops as rechargeables don't ever leak in my experience and well, they're rechargeable!
