Would you suggest getting 4D batteries or the rechargeable 6v instead?

I like the big 6v battery personally. They seem to last longer and are more convenient to carry than the D batteries. I haven't used a rechargeable but it is probably the best option. They also make a solar recharge unit that can be as well.

I have used the rechargeable 6v for almost 3 months without recharging them, putting .75 pounds of corn out morning and night.They last a long time

We use 1 6v battery, we had it since April of this year. Battery is still at 100%( battery only being use wgen its spinned). We have it set 4 times a day. Dont think you need rechargerable 4D. We love the machine. The ducks are trained by now. Its nice to see flock flying in for food each time!!

I've had my feeder in the woods for over a month and the batteries still show 100 percent charged. I think i will only have to change them once a year.I think the batteries are just fine. Hope this helps

I have been using 4 D's so far the same set since Sept. with no issues. I like D's as that the same as in the Game Camera.

I have used 4 D batteries (duracell), they have been working on a 7sec timer, two times a day and the batteries are 100% after three months. Hope this helps.

I've got a plain 6volt battery in mine, been out for 4 weeks in cold weather(below freezing) and the battery level say 100% yet, I am really impressed

These are 3.7v batteries, I use my intelecharger. It charges many types of rechargables. It takes the guesswork out of the equation. Well worth the investment. Also, for the price Sony vtr4 or 5 would be better. They are safer at lower ohms, useful information if you intend to use these for a personal vaporizer. A flashlight would be a better use for these specific orbtronic batteries. Feel free to ask more questions.

That's one downside here. AA's are too small. An alternate is the C123. That will be a pricey alternative because the XMLT6 will gobble them up. Go with the rechargeables.

The 9V battery "hack" to get 6 AAAA batteries is completely true- I just pried apart a Duracell 9V and ended up with 6 batteries to use in anything that supports AAA or AAAA. It's wonderful (once you get through that ton of plastic and metal surrounding them!). I also found that those mini AAAAs' + and - were opposite from what seemed logical, so flip them around until they work.

I popped one into my 6D and it appeared to work fine. The battery screen also reported the battery percentage and shots taken correctly. I have the most recent firmware, which is 1.1.4.

4D is correct. I have used the bike for over 50 hours now and am still on the original set of batteries. The power adapter for this bike has a short cord so it is inconvenient for some people. If you only use the bike 3 or 4 hours a week or want to be able to move it around easily just go with the batteries.

You can use regular batteries but depending on how often you use it, you'll be changing them fairly frequently so it may be more economical to get rechargeable.

I always used the 4.2v with no problems . I tryed the 3.0 and it was a little dimmer when fully charged ,almost couldnt notice tho

I guess this would work since the only thing you are increasing with Ds is the power capacity, nothing else. This should give you more use time, the only thing might be the storage, 6D batteries is a big bunch.

Use rechargeable AA batteries. Any of the precharged, "low-self-discharge" type are good; Eneloop, etc. Buy a set of 4 and a charger, swap as necessary. I've been getting at least 10 hours of recording time on one charge...

Use the lithium batteries and you should get at least that and more. No if you use cheap no name brand batteries. It is energy efficient.

No and no, 4 D batteries and optional 6V battery. See description of the item.

either would work, i too also carry extra batteries, just in case. the video feature uses more power than pics so the batteries run out faster but i didn't think any times of 'drainage' were a deal breaker.

Yes, I have 2 4D batteries. I also have a Guest battery selector. I can charge either battery or both.

I suggest buying rechargeable batteries. Mine worked great with this camera and last longer.

From the comments section of a YouTube video about a similar RAVPower model https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDSJCyoahrI"Nope - I did a bit of reading and poking the web and it seem the voltage needed for these DSLR batteries is higher and would require bulk converters so it ends up not being worth it. :("

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries, I use them. I have a 4sd card but an 8 should work
