Rechargeable batteries

My cell camera eats batteries. Any good AA rechargeable options? What brand the best? Need 12 batteries at a time.

Eneloop

They used to be Sanyo branded but are now Panasonic.

Problem with rechargeable is they seem to only charge to 50%,maybe solar maintainer would be better

rechargeable batteries discharge if they aren't actively being charged. If you don't charge them and put them straight in the camera you only get about1/3 to 1/2 you power output. I run amazon batteries in all of mine, can't say they're the best, but they have certainly served me well.

Will be in woods a lot so not sure about solar strength

Another vote for Eneloop. They do not discharge at a rate like others. I have also found a small solar charger helps them to last a LOT longer.

I purposely have LED flashlights for tracking, a nice little larger than pocket sized camera, and trail cams that all take AA's so I can get the most use out of my Eneloops. I have been running them for about 5 or 6 years now. They especially shine in my tracking lights.

i'm not sure of the battery I use with my American Hunter Solar charger but I have one feeder that has been feeding 2 times a day for about 15 months now. I have them on 2 feeders now, I think its an American Hunter buy I'd have to check to make sure. But the solar chargers work great. I bought the batteries at Malworts so there is no telling.
