Battery Performance
Because camera settings, subject activity, individual battery performance and
temperature all vary, there is no way to precisely predict a camera’s run time, the
total number of images that can be taken, or the temperature at which the
camera will operate on any given set of batteries. Therefore the following table
shows
approximate values
to be used as a guide in determining what type of
batteries will best suit your needs.
NOTE
:
The values in the chart below were based on tests using 12
batteries; taking 50% daytime photos and 50% nighttime photos at
70ºF.
Battery Type
Operating
Temperature
Number of Images
SC950 and SM750
AA Energizer Ultimate
Lithium (1.5V)
-40º F (-40ºC)
and above
30,000 to 40,000
AA Rechargeable
Nickel-Metal Hydride
(1.2V, 2600MaH)
0º F (-18ºC)
and above
*
20,000 to 30,000
* High temperatures can reduce run time of NiMH batteries by 50% or more.
TIP:
You can purchase 1.5V Lithium batteries as well as RECONYX
TM
certified
NiMH rechargeable batteries and chargers at www.reconyx.com.
Your camera will display the status
of multiple battery types; be sure that
the display is showing the same type
of battery that you are using. You can change the battery type in the main menu,
including Lithium (LITH) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NIMH).
