I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE TRIED THIS OR NOT BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THIS WITH THE ONES THAT HAVEN'T.

I TOOK A 6 VOLT BATTERY (SAME AS WE USE ON OUR TIMERS) AND A SOLAR PANEL AND WIRED IT TO MY TRAIL CAMERAS 2+ AND 1 NEG AND THE BATTERY LIFE NEVER RUNS OUT. MOST CAMERAS TAKE 4 C BATTERIES WHICH 1.5 VOLTS A PIECE, AND 1 6 VOLT BATTERY TAKES THE PLACE OF THE 4 C BATTERIES BUT YOU NEVER HAVE TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES ALL YEAR LONG..

I HOPE THIS WILL HELP SOME OF THOSE THAT ARE HAVING SHORT BATTERY LIFES WITH THEIR CAMERAS.

Here is mine, I used coffee cans to house 2 different 6 volt batteries. I found one didnt have a deep enough bank for over night with this camera. Be sure to run batteries in a parallel, not in a series or you can blow the camera.

I took mine apart and attached wires to the circuit board. Just follow the positives and negative signs and see where the wires connect. Cut and attach your own that go down to the battery (see right side of pic)
