[QUOTE="aroy, post: 553913, member: 16090"] 1. There will be less sun in Andes so you will need a really large area for solar charger. Then you will also need time, hence if you are on the move during the day, then solar recharge is not really feasible, unless you have a fixed camp where you will return each evening. 2. At high altitude and colder climate the batteries will last less. If you are using VR lenses, even less. For example with my D3300, I get around 700 images when using the non VR 35mm DX. On the other hand with 18-55 VR-II this drops to 350 and at times 300 images for one charge. So if the rated life is 500 shots, I would not expect more than 400. Your best bet will be to test the battery life using your lenses. 3. 3000 shots at even 500 shots/battery charge means 6 batteries, and at 400, eight. So the trade off is between carrying 8-10 batteries or 2 batteries with a USB power bank.
