2015 Battery Consumption Test
It's extremely difficult to estimate trail camera battery life. Variables include number of pictures taken, percentage of day to night photos, temperature and power consumption characteristics unique to each camera.
Although we can't give you the exact number of days a camera will last in your specific setting, we can provide precise measurements for power consumption. We measure resting current draw, daytime power consumption & nighttime power consumption.
Even if you are not a "technical wizard," these numbers indicate how well each model compares relative to industry peers. Additionally, we use these precise measurements to extrapolate the anticipated days of battery life in a scenario where each camera takes a set number (35) of day and nighttime photos.
We use a Keithley 2110 5/12 Digital Multimeter sampling 10 readings per second
We strive to deliver the highest quality and most accurate data. We will continue to push the envelope to ensure that we are representing all the trail cameras as accurately as possible.
