What type of Batteries do you guys run in your ecallers? My Foxpro takes (8) AAs and I have been running standard Alkaline batteries (Energizer or Duracell) however if the temps are below freezing I’m lucky to get 4-5 stands out of them. I’m thinking about trying Lithium but do they handle the cold better?

Lithium batteries can't freeze like alkaline batteries when alkaline batteries freeze they lose energy fast.

Lithium batteries handle the cold way better than alkaline batteries. No question there. They're pretty pricey, and when they're dead, they're dead. I run lithium batteries in my trailcams for their ability to handle the cold and they last a long time. Like jmeddy suggested, Enloop rechargeable batteries are the way to go in a caller. By far the best rechargeable batteries in my opinion.

I use lithiums, be aware you cannot use them below 0f and cannot charge below 32f. The charger is standard USB so can charge in a vehicle or wherever.
I keep a pack of AA alkaline just in case i ever need them in the cold.

You can go on Amazon and look for some high amp hour rechargeables. A lot of them come with a charger. Get 2-3 sets and you will be good to go for a couple full days of calling.
Look up yazzee Christopher who makes ambush 360. He will make you a battery pack and extended door cover. He did one for my fusion a couple years ago and it was very good

If you run 123 type batteries this is what I use in my ATN Binox. They are the best I have found for winter use.

I also use Panasonic Eneloop rechargeables. I have some that date back to when they were Sanyo. Mine have been recharged hundreds of times and still work.
Buy a quality smart charger. The initial investment will sting a little but if you hunt 2-3 nights a week it will pay for itself in no time.

Are they Lithium?
