I’m trying to spec out a long life system (1-1.5 years) that takes photos ~ 1 per day.
Right now I’m looking at a external battery pack which would keep it going and the lithium battery is just a backup.
I don’t think a solar panel would work due to it being indoor and the lighting conditions are varied.
So I thought maybe a one time use alkaline battery pack.
Right now I’m looking at using alkaline D cell in packs of 8 in series by 2-3 packs so I would end up with 12V and either use an electron or a step down to 5.2V for a boron.
Any ideas or advice on battery chemistry choices and or if this is even feasible would be greatly appreciated.
