I am trying a supercap in parallel with batteries on my old $40 wildview from menards. Measured battery voltage droop during flash, dropped the C's to 3.5 volts, added 1F Aerogel supercap from digikey and cut that in half. Think a 0.1F would have done better due to lower internal resistance, but didn't have 1 to try. My 7 days of battery life is currently at 2 weeks, we'll see when it dies.

Open your camera up and solder across battery terminals (on battery side of power switch!) and tuck away so you can close the camera back up. For 9 volt cameras, use 2 in series. I've tried on my old wildview 1MP, extended the typically battery life considerably, roughly a factor of 2, due to the fact that it lets you discharge your battery deeper. I think that is will improve cold temperature performance, so I'm going to install this into my moultrie D-50 flash (which stops working when it is cold and basically sucks in general).
