Quick follow-up regarding external power supply for my Tactacam Reveals.
This afternoon, I converted my last Tactacam Reveal XB from the Tactacam external Solar Panel w/ an internal rechargeable lithium battery over to the external battery inside a new weatherproof box that connects to the camera's modular internal rechargeable battery for it's power supply.
I did this due to the shorter daylight hours along with less sunshine days throughout the winter. By going with the external battery inside the weatherproof box that connects to the camera's modular internal battery, I know I won't have to worry about having enough power to operate my cameras for several months.

Feed-station Tactacam Reveal XB that was configured for power utilizing the external battery inside the weatherproof box ever since early August of 2022 and the power is still at 100% today, yet to swap out with a recharged set of batteries waiting in the wings.
I had to swap batteries at the home feed-station this afternoon, which is the very first time I had to do this for the Tactacam Reveal XB since I installed the external power source (battery) back on August 12, 2022.
I also went ahead and swapped all SD cards for all TCs right here at home, including the 'Western Stand' location that I just recently converted to the new external power supply (battery) last week.
Two days after my last post inside this thread is when the feed-station Reveal XB power indicator showed that I was losing charge. It finally got down to what you see below this afternoon, which prompted me to get in gear and go swap the batteries.
That is five months worth of both 'PIX & VIDEOS' out of my most busiest Tactacam Reveal cellular trail camera.
I'll accept that everyday of the week, and twice on Sunday. Not too shabby in my book.
Thought this information might benefit anyone that is considering in doing much the same someday.
