They still have that bundle from time to time.

One thing you need to realize though, the solar panel doesn’t recharge the pack, it just delays the camera running it down. The solar panel has its own small battery it charges, so what we were finding is that cameras with solar would be dead later at night, all morning, and then kick on about noon just soon enough to make us think it was working fine. With lithiums no matter what you set it to it will show 100% until it’s stone dead. The ideal solar setup has a larger battery and can recharge that, but it has to be DIY’d. I’ve played with it a can’t find a solar controller that can take high temps, and don’t have the balls to connect an unregulated panel directly to a lithium battery and cam cause that’s asking for a fire.

That’s why we use lithium boxes unless it’s a wide open field with a direct view south, those a solar panel can keep up with a lot of pics and we change the pack every couple months.
