Terrible battery life

Bought this last week and fully charged the pack then put it in my reveal 3. 0 on 12/7 and on 12-10 it is already not sending pictures at 11% battery atleast that’s the percentage the camera is saying it has, 1000 AA batteries my butt!! With regular alkaline AA my camera would last at least 2-3weeks. Wish I kept the packaging I would be returning it!
Charged this according to recommendations, installed camera and with in two-three days the battery died and wouldn't be charged by solar. Not sure what happened plan to buy another and try again. . . .
I have one on an SK w solar charger working great for 1 year. *note I called to get info because it’s not noted anywhere that the max you can charge these when they go down. And they do because the solar won’t keep them charged forever if not in direct sunlight. But they do last months and months w decent light. If so you need to charge at home w 1AMP MAX charging block. Otherwise it will reduce the life of the battery just like other batteries. This should be printed everywhere but manufacturers count on people fast charging and having to buy more due to stressing the battery
The solar panel is not strong enough to charge the lithium battery. I maybe get 2 or 3 pictures a day from the charge provided and then the battery is dead again. Disappointed.
The new lithium cartridge’s are complete junk! I just replaced a cartridge two days ago and it’s already down to 57%. Even with the tactacam solar panel with full charge on a new cartridge lasted about a month! I could get at least three months easy out of AA lithium batteries and even longer with the solar panel.
