Moultrie Power Panel – External Solar Panel Review
Overall I have been very pleased with Moultrie game cameras and the battery life has been fairly good. That was up until we tested the Moultrie M-80 trail camera in the plot stalker mode. At its current settings it was just shy of 3,000 pictures a day and it didn’t take more than 2 days to kill the AA batteries.
The only way to run a trail camera in a plot scenario is to use an external solar panel like the Moultrie Power Panel. The solar panel is easy to setup and connect any Moultrie game camera and in the long run will save money on disposable batteries. It will also allow for a longer run time in the field which means less scent and presence around your cameras.
The Moultrie Power Panel features include:
- Combined solar panel and 12volt rechargeable battery built in
- LCD screen for easy readout of the following
- Actual solar value to help with positioning
- Average daily and weekly solar charge efficiency
- internal charge level for internal battery
- Works with all Moultrie cameras older than 2007
- 10′ cord and mounting bracket for easy positioning
- Easy to use and setup – a no brainer actually
- Easy to tell the best angle to the sun
- None
- Expensive for an external solar panel – however it does include a built in rechargeable 12 volt battery.
