FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is the battery life for Edge 2 Pro?
A: As with every electronic device, battery life is dependent on usage. With a set of 16 AA batteries and regular usage, you can expect them to keep the Edge series cameras running for roughly three months. These cameras can operate with either 8 or 16 AA batteries. Certain actions, such as capturing night shots or instantly uploading images, drain the battery faster. Similarly, taking an abundance of on-demand photos and videos can also deplete the battery more quickly.
Q: How many batteries does Edge 2 Pro take?
A: You can install either 8 or 16 AA batteries. 8 AAs are required for the camera to turn on and operate. 16 can be installed to extend your battery life. You can also use the Edge Series Rechargeable Pack or Pro Mag as a longer-lasting alternative to using AA batteries. Click HERE for more external power options.
Q: Why can I choose how many batteries to install for the Edge 2 Pro?
A: While only 8 are required, you can install 16 to extend the battery life and visit your camera for battery changes less often.
Q: Can I install extra batteries to extend the battery life? For example: Can I install 12 batteries and get more battery life than installing more than 8 but less than 16?
A: No. The camera requires a minimum of 8, or can be used with 16. If you install less than 8 batteries, the camera will not function. If you install 9-15 batteries, the camera will only pull power from the full side. One side, or both sides, need to be completely filled.
