Battery no good

Does Arlo sell a bell charger for the 2ng gen door bell or can anyone suggest a suitable device. In less than a year I have to charge it every 3 weeks. And this is useless and you can’t buy a replacement battery. The obsolescence is part of the design.

They do not.

@jguerdat uses a plug-in transformer - I don't know which one.

There are quite a few out there, including these

They are all pretty similar in price.

I only used one when the original wired doorbell came out. My house had been re-sided and the doorbell wires weren't available so the plug-in transformer was my solution. That model isn't available any more but, as noted above, there are plenty to choose from.
