Tenergy Batteries in the UK

jamesrmichael — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 14:59:03 GMT

Arlo says that Tenergy rechargeable batteries are ok. I live in the UK, and when I tried to order Tenergy batteries I was told that they could not be shipped from the US to the UK. I cannot find any place in the UK that will send rechargeble Tenergy batteries. What should I do? I would prefer to use rechargeable batteries if possible.

I think someone in the UK had a line to get them there... maybe they will speak up.

But if not, make sure of a few things...

1) quality cells from a known manufacturer (none of the china types )

2) a good charger made for the same type of cells

3) cells with over-charge , over drain protection

The cells needed must be 3.7 li-ion cells and there in NO cell in this size that can produce more than 800mahr ( can't physically fit enough chems in that size to produre more power )

come to mind are

nitecore

eagletec

olight

a couple more that have been used by users

Just spoken to Nitecore who have confirmed that they are unable to confirm if their batteries will work in the Arlo HD Cameras, however they did state that these CR123 Batteries are 4.2 Volts and not the 3.7 Volts that Arlo Mention and suggested that advice is sought from Arlo as this may damage the cameras?

Come on Netgear, offer something that we can use here over the pond in the UK

The info Nitecore gave you is correct as far as it goes. It should be safe to use them since many others are using them with no issues - just make sure they are of the protected variety (dunno how many models they sell).

I've been using Nitecore's in one of my 4 cams for past two months and can verify they work as well as the Tenergys. This only after a year or longer other posters have posted that the Nitecores work.

Only reason why I would use Tenergys over Nitecores, for those who can get both, is that they are the ones certified by Netgear

Hi,

thanks do you have a link to the batteries? Have you purchased them and is it the one that is recommended by Arlo? Just sceptical as one said the other comparable brand does many varieties !!

Re: Tenergy Batteries in the UK

dj_sa — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:23:49 GMT

I've not bought it yet because I've asked Tenergy UK to sell it on Amazon UK.
