dont know weather its the same with your batteries but I found out the hard way that AA energizer rechargables are slightly bigger than standard they were 'very' tight in my gps and broke battery holding spring.the voltage also reads slightly different.

Solar panel works just fine. Keeps the battery charged on mine, just mount it to face south so it gets the most sun all day.
My Moultry does not use D-cells. It uses the old block rechargeable lantern style battery. If your camera will accept the block battery I would use it over D-cells any day. The D-cells just do not give you much camera on time before they go dead. As for rechargeable D-cells I have no experience with them and would follow Moulty's instructions on not using them.

NiCad have a low surface voltage of 1.2v per cell
Alky are 1.5V pc
Make you and external Nicad pack of the correct voltage and put a solar panel parrell on it.
Is there and external battery/charge port on the camera then plug in at port.

If i'm not mistaken...rechargable Ni Cads will power anything you put them in but they last half as long as a reg battery of the same size and voltage....something to do with the make up of the batterys' recharging ability....not sure about the newer non ni cads

I have had good luck with My I-60 with plain old D cell Copper Tops. I had it out about 3 weeks last fall then from mid May to mid August this year, and the display said about 76%. Had about 2200 pics total. I changed out the batteries just because I didn't want to miss anything. Happy with the plain batteries.
Happy Hunting
