When first connecting power, the blue LED should briefly flash but then be off until 100% is reached.</P> Fri, 07 Mar 2025 14:56:42 GMT jguerdat 2025-03-07T14:56:42Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Outdoor-2nd-Gen/New-Essential-XL-camera-charging-method/m-p/2443147#M4187 <P>Received 3 new cameras today. &nbsp;Trying to charge them before setting them up as instructed. Using the included cables and wall plug ins. &nbsp;Saw flashing blue lights then it stopped. &nbsp;It’s been 3 hours so far. &nbsp;How can I tell if they are charging? And how long do they typically take to get charged enough for the supposed blue steady light to come on?</P><P>hate to waste this much time if nothing is happening.&nbsp;</P> Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:35:25 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Outdoor-2nd-Gen/New-Essential-XL-camera-charging-method/m-p/2443147#M4187 Caryng 2025-03-07T00:35:25Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Outdoor-2nd-Gen/New-Essential-XL-camera-charging-method/m-p/2443195#M4190 <P>The XL camera batteries need 6-7 hours to charge - they're that much larger than the standard ones.
