EBL Lithium Batteries: Head to Head Testing VS Energizer Ultimate Lithium Battery 

The only way to make the test more fair, would be to swap the cameras, and try it again. The camera that had the Energizers should be fitted with the ELB cells, and put the Energizer cells in the camera, that had the ELB cells in the first test. My guess is that you'll find, that they're the same cell, from the same factory, in different wrappers. Please WEIGH the cells, and if they're similar, that would (almost) confirm that theory.

I can't believe I missed this video! Great job! I really appreciate this comparison. Thank you!

I still run the energizer lithium batteries in my cameras. I did give the AA rechargeable lithium batteries (RLB) a try. I tried several different brands of RLB's. Some of the rechargeables did a little better than others. The one thing that killed all of the RLB's, any temperatures below 37 degrees. Once it hits below freezing they all fail in short order. This means i can only run RLB's for the first month of our whitetail season. As we get into October, temps start dropping to cool conditions at night. The one thing that helps me keep my cameras in the field all year is herd360's 15 watt solar panels. I have no affiliation with herd360 other than buying and using his products. With the 25000mah of onboard battery power, if i get the solar panels in the right sunlight my cellular game cameras will last over 6 months on a single set of energizer lithium AA's. That with the cameras take 500 - 10000 pics a day. Like you indicated in your video, solar is the best thing out to keep camers in the field. If you really want to have fun, buy a solar power build kit and make your own massive array. 😊

I think it was a perfectly fair test!! I liked your testing rig! Thank you for sharing and Good luck with everything my friend!

It's good to know that EBL AA lithium batteries can be comparable to Energizer AA lithiums, because they are about 2/3rds the cost. But many reviews of EBL AA lithium batteries report a high rate of dying early in use, on the shelf, or even dead on arrival. Same for Powxs and Bevigor, two other AA lithium alternatives to Energizer. That's the last thing you need in a trail camera that you don't intend to visit for weeks or months.

I thought it would be close. Dave your video editing is probably the best I’ve seen 👍👍

Just used your link to order my batteries for the next year! Thanks for the tip 👍👍

Love your videos. I grew up in Northern PA. Never missed a small game, Turkey, doe or Buck season. Love the fact that we are taught, in school, hunters safety. Where are you hunting in PA? We are long time Bradford County residents. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for the comparison!

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

Energizer Lithium about 10 months ago was fairly priced, but they have jumped way up since Feb 2022. That being said they were hands down the best battery for my Blink camera system. I'll give this batter a shot a see what happens. I try not to go over the $1.50 mark per. battery. Thanks for the vlog!

Great video I tried these EBL batteries because the energizer batteries are out of control on price . I put them out in. Early august in my SPYPOINT flex cameras they still read 90% on battery life after about 350 pictures. I’m impressed.

Awesome Test! Thanks for posting this!

Great video, perfect setup for equal testing!!! You sure do take all the leg work out for me👍

Dave, all your review videos are just fantastic, just like this one!!! I would of been surprised as well but hey the proof is in the pudding so to speak. Thanks for another awesome video.

Great review Dave. I’ll keep these in mind during when Winter comes… ❄️

This is great info. I use a lot of batteries, so I enjoy your real world testing.

Great to know this. Great test!

Great review and comparison, Dave.

Thank you for the review. Thank you EBL for sponsoring his video and channel. I have both mixed results with some EBL products. With the video, and my additional testing I will make my final decision to eventually change my brand loyalty from E******* to EBL. Thanks again.

A great test and informative thanks

Good video Dave.i have some of those EBL Battery's out in one of my cell camera I like tem so far

Excellent video. Giant stones on the EBL folks for putting their product up! Extra credit for the simulated wind-blown tree branch apparatus!

It’s great to see your review - I always wondered whether energizer was worth the money! 😂 we started using lithium batteries for our cameras but went off them over time

Great test and comparison between these 2 different batteries. 👍

Great comparison. I've been using the Energizer LI for my Blink cams. Will be getting some EBL's to try them out in my Blink's and other AA uses. Will most likely swap out the regular Alkaline AA in my RV door keypad with these....

Great study and fair. $16.99 seems a pretty good price. Thanks for bringing this to us. Keep SHARING your PASSION

Awesome comparison! I exclusively use energizer lithiums at the moment and can get 2+ seasons out of cell cams on picture mode sending once a day. But I would definitely give this other brand some consideration after this test!

Great comparison test. I was a bit surprised that EBL beat out energizer, so I may purchase EBL and try them out. Thanks for the information.

Great test Dave! Looks pretty well controlled to me, so I would think it is somewhat scientific! I was surprise, my money was one the Energizer...just thinking the brand name would carry the day. Great video!! You are the man!!

Thanks for sharing

That was interesting. I have to wonder if EBL sent you special batteries though

Really good comparison on this

Great job this is exactly what I wanted to see. I too have been running energizer ultimates in my high drain devices for many years. I will try some EBL's next, hopefully the market isn't full of counterfeits.

My EBL's didn't last half as long as Energizer Lithium in my Blink cameras. Maybe I got a faulty batch? Maybe not.

Great test setup! Never heard of the EBL but I know the night time pics will drain batteries very quickly. Shows up most on the cam by the house where foxes are going up and down the trail all night. I'm definitely relying on solar panels for all the cams. 😊😊

awesome video will have to check them out thanks 👍👍👍

Woohoo!! A cheaper alternative .. it's about that time for me to start thinking about cell cameras so this is perfect timing! Thanks for doing the comparison!

Great review, Dave. Batteries are pricey so anywhere you can save some money is a bonus even if it is just a little bit. Over time it will pay off. I finally picked up a wifi trail cam. I'll be able to use it some of my upcoming camping trips. I'll be anxious to see what lurks outside the tent in the night. Take care.

During Texas Deep Freeze 1,2 &3, Energizer Lithium (AA, AAA & CR-123) took the cold without breaking a sweat! But if there's a 😮cheaper alternative, I'm listening.

Impressive how good Lithium batteries actually are..

This was a very interesting test, thanks. I was surprised that the EBL battery lasted longer, it looked like a very fair test but I do wonder if the EBL batteries would produce the same outcome if you ran the test a number of times

What I'd like to see is how the EBLs perform in the real cold. I use Energizer Lithiums and they are the BOSS in the cold up here in Canada where we routinely get -20 (celcius) temps. However they are expensive so I'd love to find a more affordable alternative without sacrificing performance, hence my interest in the EBL's. Any chance you could somehow simulate a (very) cold weather test? 😉 Thumbs up BTW, and I've subscribed so I can be notified of your response. 😉

What a great test Dave. Every penny counts these days.

As always great info well appreciated! Ya EBL batteries 🔋 really give a punch then to the lithium Energizer batteries!! Definitely now give them ago ! I luckily try & find deals on EBay ! But ya costs of batteries gone nuts ! So ya like you I use solar power cameras 🎥 more now ! Take care cheers from 🦌OH🦌

Great video. I did a test with alkaline batteries both from dollar general and dollar tree. The dolly tree batteries got 600 30 videos and dollar general only got 36 30 second videos my tests where done with a Campark t86

Very interesting information, Dave. I haven't looked into those kinds of batteries. I have always used alkaline batteries in my cameras, and one reason was the cost. But in my defense, I had never heard of the one-time lithium batteries, I had only heard of the rechargeable. Honestly, the rechargeable was out of my budget when it comes to batteries. I may look more into these one-time use lithium batteries. I have saved them on my Amazon list. Thanks for sharing. Juddie - J & J TOA

Great video I did a similar test but I didn’t go well 😂my camera was not happy

Interesting results. I am working more solar panels into my set-up. But some cameras won't take the cables. :( Thanks Dave!

Modern Foxfire info ❤ ty

What is your opinion of solar powered trail cams?

So you actually got more for paying less . Nice review Dave 👌

The cheapest i can find Energizer lithium batteries is $24 at my local wally world. I think the price of these things is just getting totally ridiculous. Thus i have sworn off lithium batteries and am converting everything to solar panels with plain old alkaline batteries. Thats the ONE thing I like about Spypoint. They make cell cams with integrated solar panels. 'Course then you might have to deal with their customer service which is never a positive experience.

I bought a big 40-pack of energizer max alkalines last week. Brought them home to load up a few cams. Just for the fun of it, i put the tester to them. They all read 1.4 V right out of the package. Was not impressed.

After watching this review I purchased 12 EBL batteries for my Tactacam Reveal. They failed in one month. ☹ I get five months out of a set of Energizers. I do not recommend EBL batteries.

Them EBL’s are on sale right now! Less than $2 a pack

That is surprising, But still switching all cameras to solar.

When I put lithium batteries in my Chinese trail cameras they always show 100 percent until a few seconds before they die. That's why I don't use them anymore. You never know when they will die.

Thanks for doing this… it was very informative! I have however switched over to 12v solar battery packs for most of my cameras. But for those still running lithium I will be switching to EBLs.

Everything little bit helps in this economy.

Isn't the Energizer Ultimate Lithium battery rechargeable?

Well they do not work for me - i thought they would last 2 or 3 years. But as soon as it goes to good they completely stop working. That is in my portable radio...exactly 12 months..

Bought Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA and AAA at a big box store, all measured 1.2 volts. That’s almost discharged. Bummer.

I use rechargable batteries out of emergency lights

why is he screamen?

I bought two spypoint microLink LTE cameras in November and then in January I bought their lithium battery packs to each for each camera. Let me rephrase that two battery packs per camera so I can have one charge to take out with me when it died and I do not know how my pictures I have taken on those two cameras. Since then the one I changed out it was at 24% and the other one I have it is still at 56% and the second one on the other camera is at like 54% and I have my pictures being taking every 5 minutes. The cameras were 79 each and the battery packs were $49 each when I purchased them and now that camera right now because they came out with a new 5. Flex that microlink is on sale for $69 and the battery packs are on sale for $39. I've had no issues with the cameras. I think it's a great app that I can see all those pictures on my phone so take it. I'm happy with what I have. I hope everybody else is happy with what they purchase!
