    Duracell or rayovac depending on the situation, if Im not gonna be able to get back/ dont want to come back for a while then its the copper tops all the way!!! If iI can get in once every week or two then i will go with the Rays asthey are cheaper, I hope Pat will post his bad results(pics) with us, but so far I have had no issues yet………………….

    I normally use Duracell with great success I am now 3 months into testing the Energizer “Industrial” battery with better than average results along with long battery life my next main concern is Batteries that leak It is very important to remove the batteries from the cameras when not using them. this year I am going to change batteries every 3-4 months because of the leakage I have seen with all brands when exposed to the elements. According to independent tests the main cause of failure on the newer cameras is leaking batteries

    Interstate All Battery center in Rochester. Same thing as the name brand with way better pricing. Plus he can rebuild ANY rechargable product that I own. Lights, razors, Dewalt, ect, etc.

    I have always run the copper tops in my cameras, with the best results….. but….. this past fall, I got caught without any freshies to put in my foodplot cam, behind the cabin… so I ran to Portside in Isle and got some KODAK batteries… I figured they would be an arm and a leg, 1st for being KODAK and 2nd, because I was buying them at a Bait/Convenince store. Truth told, they were about the same price as the Duracells from Target and I think they lasted longer… I am gonna see if they have more and will have to also conduct a test
