I've seen some questions recently regarding cell cams and battery life. To be sure, cell cams can be pretty rough on batteries. I placed my Spypoint link S out in Ohio the first week of November. The Link S is the model that has the built-in solar panel. Well after all this time, the battery meter is still reading full and it is sending pics on a daily basis. Not too bad for a cell cam. This Spypoint is definitely pricey but so far is has been a great camera. Blessings........Pastorjim Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
