    Hey guys, just wondering who else has one and what kind of battery life you are getting. Ive only been getting about two weeks out of mine before I have to replace...I can imagine it getting more expensive than i'd like.:confused:

    I have Cuddeback's NoFlash IR and I get 4-6 weeks or so on one set of batteries. Not sure about the Capture IR though.

    I have the Moutltrie IR 4.0...batterties put in on Oct 21st...still 35% battery reading this past Sunday...over 1000 pics taken...it does require 6 "D"'s but still seems like it will pay for itself in no time compared to many other brands.

    I have two of them and I've had them shut down while the batteries are still at a good level. Actually I just pulled cards today and one of them was dead. I just checked the batteries and they still have almost full charge. they are all at 1.46v each. Check those batteries if you have a multi meter. I'll bet they are good. This happened once before with the other camera.

    I've emailed cuddeback two three times with different questions and they don't respond. I hate when companies advertise they are so great and their customer service sucks.I'll be calling them tomorrow.

    Our problems sounds similar, I pulled the camera the other day and updated the firmware. I'll be checking her out in a few days to see how it worked, hopefully thats all you need to do too!
