Title: energizer lithium, worth it???
Post by: Button Nubbs on December 27, 2011, 06:03:11 PM: I haven't used the lith batteries before but I just got a trophy cam and it recommends them. I decided to get some and for 8 of them it was 21.99 :yike: just saw a 15 pack of duracells for 9.99. So, they any better?

Post by: huntnnw on December 27, 2011, 09:28:29 PM: google lithium and alkalines in cold weather no comparison in performance..lithiums are far superior hands down ...rechargeables are much better than alkalines. I just bought 8 lithiums at grocery store for $16

Post by: Doublelunger on December 27, 2011, 09:37:36 PM: I recently bought a Moultrie D-80 mini and they recommended using lithium batteries. I decided to try some alkaline batteries the first time around and got maybe 400 pics before the batteries were completely dead. After that I paid the the 22 bucks for the energizer lithium's and have not been disappointed. My camera has taken 1000-1200 pics and still shows over 95% battery life. So in short...Yes, they are worth it!

Does anyone know a place/website that sells the lithium batteries cheap?
