Lithium all the way, you can find them as cheap as $2 a battery online, but a $100 solar panel with a built in 12v is the way to go if your camera is capable of it. I got 3 of the Ridgetech Summit 4 Camera's, each has a 12v external power port. I bought Moultrie 12v solar panels for them all and plan on getting them out in the bush right away. Most reviews I have read have had nothing but positive feedback and the batteries never going below 75% even in more shaded areas and cold conditions. The camera's will be sending photos daily to my phone if something walks by, so that will be the true test. With the price of solar panels these days and the way camera's are starting to put external battery ports on them and even solar panels built in, buying 12 AA lithium's is not even worth it anymore.
