Hi

I work for a Conservation Organization which is looking to extend the battery life on its digital camera traps.

In short, our camera traps use 4 D Cell batteries and we want to attach an external power pack that would provide the equivalent of 50-100 watt hours or highers.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Best Regards

Jonathan

Yes. Get something like a Yuasa 6v lead-acid gel battery and connect that in place of your 4 D Cell batteries. It'll recharge with a motorbike battery charger.

I did exactly this when I built a bicycle lighting set for my bicycle in Britain.
