EXO Batteries

AJ Waller

I have 1 EXO that has the same batteries for over 2 months and still going strong.  My 2nd EXO has had batteries changed twice and I finally broke down and got Energizer Lithiums in it today.  Every time I change batteries I have issues and usually have to pull the batteries 2-3 times and reset.  I will walk around 5 minutes after turning the unit back on and it will usually take 1-2 pics and then nothing.  The last time I changed them I had a MONSTER come in on my other cam and walk right towards the one with fresh batteries and no pics.  I walked around it the next morning and no pics.  Pulled batteries twice and got it working again.  Same issue today, new batteries and cam connects on the app but I have walked back several times and walked around for 2-5 minutes and I hear the camera taking pics but nothing uploads on the server.   Is there a special way to change the EXO?  Couple at a time so the camera does not power completely off until all changed? Pull all at once and install together?  Obviously when I change batteries they all get done together.     

Will a solar panel work with the EXO?  Seems like there aren't any or few posts on the EXO so I am hoping that is a good sign ;)

    Hello AJ,

    Thanks for posting.  Please give our team a call at 1-844-908-1219 and we'll be happy to walk through this with you.  We have looked through the logs on both your cameras regarding battery life and are seeing some unusual readings.  It appears either the batteries you replaced them with recently weren't new, or there was a bad one or two in the batch (which happens more than you'd think), as I am not seeing a recent battery life reading of 100% which should happen whenever they were replaced.

    Additionally, the performance on Lithium vs Alkaline batteries varies a great deal due to their design.  Lithium batteries will remain at or near 100% for the almost the entire life of the battery.  Once they decline, they'll go very quickly.  On the other hand, alkaline batteries will begin gradually declining shortly after installation.  So, we'll just need to walk through this with you over the phone and see exactly when you changed the batteries to pinpoint any anomalies.

    Lastly, anytime you change the batteries you will want to do them all.  We also have a few external power accessories we can discuss with you as well.

    Thanks,

    Moultrie Mobile Team
