On Batteries, I recently found out about Energizer Lithium AA batteries.

My trail cam that I set up in Septembreto minitor the red squirrels at my nut feeder, originally were equipped with really good Varta alkaline batteries, the best alkalines you can get in Germany. They lasted for almost eexatly four weeks, at the night temperatures that we had in that month, around 10°C or so. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years (reading "best before 2025" currently).
I next tried Energizer Lithium batteries. They are now enetering their seventh week, with night temperatures from -1° to 6°C, and a shelve life claimed to last until 2040 ! Quite a big difference, I would say. I meanwhile have changed the Varta batteries on my pictures with Energizer Lithiums.
