The SPYPOINT SB-400 solar panel battery pack extends trail camera operation time while reducing maintenance visits to remote locations. This external power solution maintains consistent camera performance during extended monitoring periods without frequent battery replacements.
What Makes This Different
The SB-400 combines solar charging capability with internal battery storage, providing continuous power even during cloudy conditions or nighttime operation. Unlike standard battery packs that drain completely, this unit harvests ambient light throughout the day to maintain charge levels. The weatherproof construction withstands outdoor conditions that would damage conventional power sources.
Key Features
- Built-in solar panel charges internal battery during daylight hours
- Compatible with SPYPOINT cellular and standard trail cameras
- Weatherproof housing rated for outdoor year-round use
- Internal rechargeable battery provides power during low-light periods
- Mounting bracket system for secure attachment to trees or posts
- LED indicator shows charging status and battery level
- Standard DC output cable connects to camera power input
Field testing shows the SB-400 can extend camera operation time by several months compared to standard AA batteries alone. The solar charging function works effectively in partial shade conditions, making it suitable for dense forest environments. The internal battery maintains camera power through multiple days of overcast weather, ensuring continuous monitoring of game trails, property boundaries, or research sites.
