My Dad got an OnTime game feeder for this year's hunting season and it would not work. He bought it on sale last year, didn't use it, so there was no more warranty.
The unit was improperly wired, would not work with two 6V lantern batteries, and had another hidden 1.5 volt AA battery that operated the clock even thought the instructions said it would work with one 6V battery.
The red wire was connected to -, and they used 9V battery connectors to connect everything together. Really, really poor quality control. I fixed it, but there is no way anything should of been assembled like this.

The unit's wiring as shipped. It's impossible for it to work wired this way with two lantern batteries.
