I run all of my cameras on external batteries. Batteries are stored in a plastic ammo case. Cameras run all season. Some of my cords are cut off from old laptop battery chargers then I wired them with terminals. Other cords I have ordered online.
Same here. A lot of thrift stores have power cables for 99 cents. You just need the right barrel end that fits the camera. Cut the other end off and attach proper connectors to fit your battery.
