I put my new ghost cams (2) out yesterday. One has new lithium batteries the other has recharable batteries. One shows one bar the other shows no bars. Since they both named camera no. 1 i dont know which one has which batteries. But, there is no way they could use $25 worth of batteries in 12 hours. Help.

  Just keep an eye on the voltages. The one showing zero bars probably has the higher voltage and is the lithium batteries. Lithium batteries have a very high initial voltage so the camera thinks it has a dead SLA battery rather than fresh lithium. Once they drop a little bit that should change to full battery bars.

  First, you’ll probably want to change the description and nametag for one of the cameras so you can tell them apart.

  Johnny is correct about the one with lithium batteries probably being the one that shows 0 bars, but do check the external voltage. The one with lithiums will have a higher external voltage than the one with rechargeables.
