help with Moultree feeder problems - 11/27/15 02:46 AM
I have a Mountree 30 gallon feeder. It has worked fine for a year but now is messing up right in the middle of the season.
The 6 volt battery usually lasted for a couple of months easy. All of the sudden, it is chewing through batteries about once ever 10 days. It stops feeding and the LCD shows battery to be at 20 percent and it won't turn the motor.
If I put a fresh battery in, it works fine but only for a short time.
Does anyone else have the same problem? It seems like something is putting a drain on it and I can't tell without pulling it in and taking a multi meter to the thing.
any advice would be helpful
