[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 847688, member: 48483"] Welcome. I had to look up the specs of the D300, but yeah I won't dismiss the battery as the issue even as you tried 2 different batteries. EN-EL3, same as the D80's I owned years ago. If you are using the original batteries they can be bad by now. If you have bought aftermarket replacements (I don't believe new EN-EL3 made by Nikon are available anymore, only counterfeits), they can still be the problem. If you leave image review on during the time-lapse, you are also wasting battery power there. And then there is just the other unsaid issue here. What was the temperature at 7700 ft that night? Cold weather kills Li-Ion battery charge in short order. You should be transporting the batteries in your pocket with body heat keeping them warm to install at location. [/QUOTE]
