rechargeable battery usage

[manfredz]

we all know that the Netgear up to 6 months for batteries is for very light usage.

On 3 of my cams I use rechargeables, use considerably more and set record to 120 sec.  I also manually view briefly manually every couple hours.

These two use the recomended Tenergys:

average 16 recordings a day with battery level dropping an average of 2.5% per day

average 24 recordings a day with battery level dropping an average of 5.2% per day

A Chinese bought set in a third camera

averaged 16 recordings a day and battery level dropped an average of 6.3% per day.

Notice the first 10-15% drop relatively quickly and then slows.

And what are you seeing in number of DAYS with your usage?

In my runs i get 40 - 60 days (depending on how much recordings )  using approved or identical type cells

getting 20-40 days before recharging, but then recording 32 to 48 min per day which is probably more than most would.
