Battery life

My six cameras this year dont want to last longer than a week maybe 10 days max.  I have tried 3 different battery types, I dont do videos, my camera and SD cards are formatted.  My SD cards are 8-16.

I have looked through settings and turned down flash power, but I must be missing something and it really sucks replacing batteries every week.  I had 4 of these cameras last year with no problems

Any thoughts?

I also cant get Spartan to call back so this is my next option

  Also there's very few 8gb cards that are too spec (32gb or smaller, class 10, 80mbs or faster and full sized cards only, no micros in adapters).

  I just looked in cameras and five of them have 16GB and one has 8GB. The model is GC-Z4Gb2

  Four of these cameras worked just fine last year with same SD cards. Is there a setting that could be tripping me up.

  Make sure power save is turned on in the camera settings in the app. Is the firmware up to date?
