Arlo Wireless Camera battery percentage with new batteries

taylormade — Thu, 11 Jan 2018 17:13:39 GMT

One of my cameras (I purchased the standard 2-camera, base station package) kept blinking Amber and would not reset/resync, etc., no blue light. I "removed device" from my system. I replaced the batteries, brand new batteries. I rebooted my base station and resync'd the camera with the new batteries. Only issue is it saying battery life 45%?? The batteries are:

Energizer Lithium CR123A 3V Photo Lithium Batteries. Will it update to correct percentage at some point? Thanks for your help.

If the battery is saying 45% and they are new... either;

1) one pair of batteries are in wrong

2) one pair of batteries are not making contact..

Remove them and check position, AND also make sure srrings aren't compressed in... place batteries and let the lid push them in and down

On the newer models, the large ring is for Negitive sides

The smaller dot is for positive ( if + terminal of battery is in large ring, no contact is made and that pair is unused )

( older versions don't have the same battery tabs , so you must look carful at the sticker for +/- )
