Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Don't care what anyone said, Stansky. Not interested in childish theatrics. Let anyone flap their keyboard lips till they get all hot cheeked. It all just means " Look At ME!!! I'm 'Someone' on this drying, dying backwater of a forum ..... Aren't I ...? " Anyway .... Just been reading an absolutely fukking fascinating thread, by North Americans, about why their 'Civil War' kicked off! Even as a completely uninformed outsider, just sort of Lightly reading it? Absolutely fukking fascinating. It might be easy to get all blazé and mumble shit about 'Red Necks', 'Niggers', 'Slaves'. Sure. Like, I was never Really in a seminar about " What Is A Peasant? ". Where we all casually blew off about, like; " Oh. That's those Russian women. Wear shawls and grub about in the land with their hands. Shit like that. Next?! " Then, the fukking Lecturer turns round and says: " Umm. No. What you're alluding to there are Actually ... " I dunno. 'Subsistence Level Share Croppers', or some such thing. And, one by one. As we airily spouted what we thought a " Peasant " clearly was? That slick fukker shot us to pieces! Completely and honestly dismantled our cases. One after the other. Some cool shit, that was! I like shit like that. That's stayed with me for decades now. Still fukking impressed with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Actually, Kanny? I saw a chube where by this guy actually got a shit ton of those little face fan things? He loaded them all up with different makes of batteries and left them to fight it out. Obviously, Duracell would be the cleat cut winner. Because TV had told us so I've used Energizer ever since! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,849 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) I read when I had my first trail cams not to use rechargeable battery’s in them, maybe that’s why, if it’s on your property get a cheap solar panel and a car battery most come with the leads to run them like that, sorry I can’t add links for some reason but have a google of this should tell you all you need to know Edited May 6, 2021 by Greyman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Check your charger and see if it doesn't have a "discharge" button. I'm not sure modern batteries have to be fully discharged before charging anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah worst thing you can do to a lithium battery is run it completely flat as they won't recharge, but that said they should have protection on them to prevent that .

I'm not sure modern batteries have to be fully discharged before charging anyway. Christ, mate, have you seen that site Greyman put up?! Now I don't know whether to beat my head against the wall, or put the cam, charger and all these fukking batteries up against it! Anyway, as I've said, this charger cost my Forty Quid!!! It's no pound shop shit, that's for sure! (Panasonic BQ-CC63) But, no, it doesn't come with a discharger. It was " ands " that put me up to it. And That guy knows his way around a trail cam. It just never occurred to me that there's that 'rule' about getting them discharged. Greymans article made it all sound even more daunting! I've book marked that and shall return to it. Right now, I've replaced the cam's batteries with the four I think I managed to drain. Those I charged yesterday. Now, I'm charging the undrained other four. Think I'll just slap it back out there tonight and get on. I'm through with shovelling cash at the fukking thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ands 550 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I've never discharged a battery KD and don't seem to get any problems- i think your barking up the wrong trees lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Fukk!!! Thanks, mate. In honesty? I was pondering exactly that, earlier today. Trouble is? Ask ten people? Guaranteed ten different fukking answers! It's becoming a bit of a boat. Supposedly reliable model of cam. Now, the best charger money can buy, for the second most expensive batteries. Now what? " Oh, it could be your sim card ..... " What's that? Another score? And, if That fails? Fukk it. Just buy Another camera, for £160.00?! Isn't it Gnasher who has a signature saying something to the effect of repeating the same action and hoping for a different result is Stupid? I'm seriously reaching the point where I have to wonder how much more I'm stupid enough to throw at all this The septics are fukking mental, by the way! They have this Real thing about " Trespassers ". Own big tracts of land and then saturate it with cams. I see them casually saying shit like; " Buy so and so. I got a deal. So many for $400.00. " But, even They come full circle. Ask ten of them ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
