Turns out rechargeable AA and AAA run at 1.2V due to the different chemistry: From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAA_battery" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>: "The nominal voltage of alkaline and lithium AAAs is 1.5 V, while that of NiMH or NiCd cells is 1.2 V." Take a close look at the battery. It should list the V. Cheers. @Justin,

The picture look great and more voltage is better anyways (until you fry circuits). Nice job, but as far as I know AAA’s are 1.5v so you may have been running the camera on 12v.

I have been in the middle of nowhere with an amazing view and suddenly no battery power for my camera more times than I can count. Apparently I shouldn't have just given up.
