Rechargable battery

CR41G — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 16:36:53 GMT

Looking to get a rechargable battery for my camera so that I can have it in a remote location and always charged, without needing to haul it home or anything. This is the product I'm referring to: https://www.arlo.com/en-us/accessories/VMA5420-10000S.html

What is this "2.5x" battery claim though? Are these batteries higher capacity than the ones included inside of the Go 2? Are they physically larger?

The 2.5x claim is legit, but only applies to the Pro 3/4/5s and Ultra cameras. The standard battery (VMA5400) for those cameras is 4800 mAh, the XL battery (VMA5410) is 13000 mAh. The height and width are the same dimensions, but the VMA5400 is about 1 inch in depth, while the VMA5410 is about 2 3/4 inches.

The XL battery is actually the only battery for the Go 2, so you already have it.

Can anyone else confirm that the battery that comes with the Arlo Go 2 is 13,000 mAh?
