No that IS NOT the combination solar panel and battery panel. The one on that link is just a solar panel.

This is the combo unit here:
Cheapest I have found is at Native Outdoors in Royce City.

Yall made me bust out my old moultrie powerpack. I set it outside for a day. It shows 0 for the internal charge level. I'm assuming the battery is toast. Has anyone ever took one apart and tried replacing the battery?.

Yes I have replaced the batt in moultrie power panel.

Lol. I'm glad you figured it out... I would have payed to be in the store as you busted out your voltmeter

Too much info and details!

Where did you get the replacement battery? Any other info?

Haha...it wasn't that bad. I know those guys pretty well. It just took some time to convince them that MUCH THOUGHT had been given to the issues and we had some questionable readings w/ the voltmeter during troubleshooting.

It was kinda funny b/c one of the guys was adement about how it wasn't meant to be used for cams....only for feeders. He wasn't convinced until they took my defective unit out to one of the Moultrie feeders in the warehouse and it "wouldn't" power it!

That's when they finally agreed to open up another NEW package and it worked perfect.

Cant remember. Took it apart and ordered the same one that was in it. Still using it.

Thanks. I'll give it a try

Glad this problem has been resolved!

Thanks to the TBHer's troubleshooting help and direction. And especially to you tgil! I would have never thought to use a voltmeter the way u instructed to confirm we were getting power.

I was just plain lucky to have turned the camera ON and notice the drop in voltage.

Dang defective material!!! I knew something didn't seem right when it dropped so low on power up. Keep us updated on how it works in the field!

This is the battery out if my old Power Panel. Looks like a miniature 12v feeder battery. I'll try to find a replacement and get it working again.

The battery is about 3 3/4" long, 2" tall, and 1 5/8" wide.

Found a replacement battery. Time to do some serious searching and find it cheaper:
