Stealth Cam has unveiled the Sol-Pak battery pack, a solar battery pack that can extend the operating life of trail cameras. Engineered for use with modern hi-resolution and cellular trail cameras, the Sol-Pak operates cameras with a 1000mAh Lithium-ion battery, charged by the integrated 12V solar panel. The amorphous panel is even designed to work in low-light conditions, like overcast or clouded skies. With a durable, all weather construction, the Sol-Pak can withstand all four seasons, while a folding design and locking pivot points allow for flexible positioning to obtain maximum sunlight exposure. Just mount the Sol-Pak to a tree, post or whatever object the camera is on, using the included strap and serrated brackets. Finally, a 10ft metal shielded conduit protects the power cable from varmints. For more information, please visit stealthcam.com.MSRP: $69.99
