I have been using trail cameras for over 10 years, and have found things that work for me and things that didn't. I will share the things that worked for me, with the hopes of saving other people head aches or costly mistakes. More "Trail Camera Tips/Hacks" to come as I edit and upload them to TH-cam as Shorts.

EBL batteries suck

[@PracticalKen]

If you had them installed in a portable vacuum, they would suck. If you had them installed in a portable fan, they would blow. If you had them installed in a remote control car, they would go.

@@PracticalKen just not for long. (Short run time) . And some of your cells Will fail and short life.
I bought them that’s how I found out
Use Panasonic batteries much more reliable last longer The Panasonic batteries are also Brandon under another name called eneloop they have two models a normal series for light duty like flashlights or low energy consuming products and then they have a heavy duty series black batteries or something with the motor in it or high output camera flashes

@@coldfinger459sub0 I had some cells no longer charge, but have only had a few, which really surprises me. I would have expected I would have gotten less cycles out of them than I am currently getting. I literally have disposed of about 5 batteries total so far in 4-5 years of using them. I am about 16 cycles of recharging some of the batteries dating back to 2017. As with any manufactured items, some may faulty o not as durable as most of the products produced. Do you have a good rechargeable battery you would recommend that is affordable? I would be very interested in trying others. Thank you for your input.

@@PracticalKen I gave up but occasionally still looking for affordable quality in batteries for rechargeable. The eneloop manufactured by Panasonic or what I have settled on.
Because I am in a high dollar per our business long run time and reliability are the most important features and all my test equipment and tools are all battery-operated and I use many of them every day at every job site continuously from morning tonight.
I myself am still looking for a reliable 9 V rechargeable battery high cycle time high output hi life expectancy very reliable I don’t care about the cost. Even if I have to cut out a cheap one by my own sales and assemble it myself to make a reliable one
