Having problems with battery draining on my arlo go. I have good 3g connectivity full or missing 1 dot. It uses 10% every day without any activity. Arlo support couldn't help me new battery and the camera replaced. Thinking of connecting batteries together to make the battery capacity better. Is that possible?

Hi, also from sweden with the same problem. I even use the solar panel, VMA4600 but that's not enough. Takes 3-5 days in this period ( from october ) to run out of power. Cant find any good tips....
What about connecting more than one solar panel ?
Or what about adding on a powerful power bank ?
Or is there anyone who found a bigger and better solar panel ?

I have a little less battery drainage at the moment maybe 40% in a week. My solar panel isn't working at the time, seems like the panel drain some when its hooked up as someone else posted when its not charging/no sun. But the outside temperature is higher than normal for the season too. Before I charged the battery in a garage that had about the same temperature as outside. Now I charge the battery inside the house where it is like 22 Celsius. Strong 4g signal is to prefer, but I only have strong 3g

Is it possible to use a Qualcomm powerbank to charge Arlo go, or remove the battery and run the camera only on powerbank?

It's possible to use external power supplies but there's a few caveats to consider. Many battery packs stop supplying power if the power draw is too low, such as when the camera is sleeping/not recording. It needs to supply power all the time. There's also the issue of weatherproofing the connections properly.
Personally, I'd leave the camera battery in and let the powerbank recharge it.
