12v LifePo4 battery packs are gaining in popularity to add extended life to trail cameras, security cameras, and other gadgets due to their long life and superior performance. LifePo4 batteries tend to have an edge over lithium ion both in terms of cycle life (it lasts 4-5x longer), and safety. This is a big advantage because lithium ion batteries are at a higher risk of overheating and can even catch fire, while LifePo4 batteries do not.

In the past, I would drop a SLA (sealed lead acid) battery in a plastic ammo box to provide backup power to my trail cameras. Although this is an easy and cost effective approach, it is not without problems. Two of my biggest issues with this setup was water and bug intrusion. Many times this led to premature death of the battery which ended up costing me more money to replace. After years of frustration, I started building my own 12v LifePo4 battery builds and I couldn't be happier.

A 12v LifePo4 battery build is easy with the right tools and supplies. In this video, I go step by step into building this 12v 6ah LifePo4 battery setup and show all the tools and materials required for the project. The project box I use is waterproof and bug proof while the cable is wrapped in stainless braid to prevent squirrel and rat damage.

This external battery for trail cameras is protected by a PCB board that protects the LifePo4 batteries from both over discharge and over charging! The PCB also has charging balance which equalizes each battery and extends the life of the entire pack. I would not be surprised if this DIY 12v LifePo4 battery pack last 10 years! We'll see!
