Fwiw I bought a bunch of ninmax a few months ago and so far they are holding up fine. This seems like a good price.

Right after buying a second batch of Ninmax batteries, we had a bunch of cameras using the Ninmax that went dead. I feel like at this point it's a decent battery but buying Energizers for an extra $.25/battery seems worth it to me now. Just wanted to follow up on my experience.

I bought and put up one of those Browning solar panels on Tuesday. Figured it didn't cost much more than one change of Lithium batteries would, so why not.
Of course it's not going to get too much sun until my "drill and fill" drops some leaves off the trees. Hope it works.

Last weekend I learned something about the Browning solar panel. They work better if you turn them on.

I do that more and more with my cameras. I'm always rushing. Never have my glasses.

This weekend I found the solar panel on, but the camera off. Oh dear.

Amazon Prime Day has Energizer Lithium AA 24 packs for $36. That's about .50/battery cheaper than you'll find anywhere else throughout the year. I think its a maximum of 3 packs, but still a great deal

I bought that exact pack last month for $38. I thought it was a good deal even then.

I always go to eBay for Energizer lithium batteries. I just ordered a couple 8 packs for $1.43 a battery with free shipping.

Are they the allegedly counterfeit cardboard box ones? Bought a pile of those in the past and they mostly worked well but had some duds in the end.

I'm not aware of that scandal but I'll let you know when they arrive what the packaging looks like.

The ones I got were 4 packs in cardboard boxes, in a bigger cardboard box. They are straight from Energizer on Amazon. They say Energizer store anyway.

Saw this today and thought it may be relevant to this thread. FWIW

These are what I got from Amazon. Are they the counterfeit ones?

I've no idea if any were actually counterfeit, there were just claims that they were due to spotty performance from the cardboard boxed ones sold on Amazon. I had mostly good luck with them but seemed to have some issues with some in the last batch i bought a couple years ago.

Counterfeit isn't the only problem with Amazon items. Many things are actually stolen and out of the normal supply chain and therefore not stored properly (temperature,pests,etc.)

Not lithiums but I ordered 48 Energizer Max AA's off of amazon and got 16 Max and 32 normal energizer. Returned them for not being what I ordered and they sent me the exact same thing again.

I don't think I've ever used anything BUT the cardboard box ones.

Im still rolling with ninmax. Running less cameras this yr also.
