battery replacement

jeffnsuec — Fri, 20 Jul 2018 20:06:40 GMT

I have a battery that appears to be bad. The Arlo system is just about 18 months old. Just to make sure it wasn't a bad charger, I just bought the separate charger that charges up to 2 arlo Pro batteries. When I put it in I don't get an amber light. When I use a good battery I have the amber light and it is charging. How do I go about getting it replaced?

Warranty for any Arlo component is 1 year. Since it's 18 months old, you're out of warranty and would need to buy a new battery.

Even though it is supposed to handle 500 charges? I am lucky if I have charged it 12 times

Not sure why it would go bad all of a sudden unless you live in extreme temps. Lithium ion batteries are somewhat unpredictable. Ive had cordless drill batteries last 5 years and some die after 2 years. 300-500 is the average for charge cycles but they degrade with time whether you charge them or not. Extreme temps speed up the process.

Sounds like poor quality. Guess I can probably send the dual charger back since it was really a faulty battery.

No extreme temps. I live in NY. They are not in the Sun with the exception of the morning.

Then poor quality could be right. Sucks... There exspensive.

Then stand on one foot in center of pentagram. Click your heels 3 times and say arlo arlo arlo. Then repeat 5 times before you call support . what garbage. Wait 10 minutes really?
