Using DC voltage to charge Arlo Go

[Fudgiedog]

I have 12 volt DC electoral system. If I step it down to 9 volts will it charge the Arlo Go battery

It may, but I would be very worried about over-charging and battery safety

How would a low voltage charge from a home DC electrical system be different from the low voltage charge from the Arlo Solar Panel?

Is the overcharging the reason some people remove their battery while running directly from the home power source?

I would think that the camera or battery would provide the protection. The supplied Netgear charger likely doesn't have smarts in it and the camera should limit the charge to the normal 80% so the battery isn't damaged. Of course, doing this puts your warranty at risk if something goes wrong.

It might be worthwhile putting a current limit on it like the charger does. Try 1.5A @ 9v.
