Get a moultrie m-80. They take AA's and if you use lithium batteries they could last up to a year but even with heavy use they'll last at least several months.

I've been using the Covert cams. Fast trigger, great battery life and good photos. My last soak was 2 months, one camera took over 1100 pictures! Try the MP6, gets good reviews and Wing Supply has it for $120.

I have seen solar gizmos for trail cams.  You might be able to make the one you have work

I have 6 different stealth cams and some take c batteries and some take the aa batteries. They all last at least a month plus and get 500 to 1000 pics. They don't last as well in the winter but still get a lot of pics. Which model stealth cam do you have? Might need to send it back to the factory to get fixed.

My stealth cam Sniper started doing that after a year or so of use.  Pretty disappointing for a $200+ camera.  I run wildgame's now, so far so good.

Cuddeback is the only one.  Long battery life, works in sub zero weather, fast trigger speed.  The initial price seems high but mine has never missed a beat for 5 years!
