I agree about the lithium’s saying 100% then they are dead. I get about 8-12 months on a set with my regular trail cams but my cellular cam I only get about 5 weeks. The camera settings read 100% right up until the camera stopped sending pics. I need to get a solar panel.I agree with lithiums. Just the same, with lithiums, they'll pretty much read 100% until the minute they die. I guess I have a love / hate relationship with them. Ya just don't know when they're gonna peter out...lol.
On another note, doesn't one of the Cudde units need take D batteries & the othesr AA ?

If they could improve their battery life somehow I think they would be great. I am anxious to see how the lithiums hold out. For me at my camp even without great battery life they are still a good thing as I can still spend less time checking. When I was down there during the rut I could wake up and go pull the card on the back porch to see if there was any activity during the night.I thought all along, this Cuddelink system was designed to keep a guy from going in & checking his cams on a regular basis. There's no way that's going to happen with the battery life issue. It's a wonderful concept, but I doubt it will ever be practical at this time. I hate to see guys spend $$$$$ on something that they'll end up regretting perhaps.
Can you shoot me the link to those pages. I would like to see what others are doing. I could set something up where I have theseThere are a couple FB pages on wireless cams where they have been reviewing the Cuddelink cams and it sounds like some model cams are better than the others when it comes to batteries but the big recommendation is to set up a solar system or solar/external battery system, especially for the home unit.
