Pro 2 Battery Life

[msn1956]

For how many years can I count on the batteries for my Pro 2 cameras to hold a charge?  Mine are about 4 years old and they used to hold a charge for 2-3 months.  Now they last for days.  Do I need to buy new batteries or is there another solution?  Thanks.

I have had my pro2 cameras and batteries for almost 5 years and still lasting as long as usual. I don’t use smart notifications or subscription plan which does increase the drain on the batteries.

I have noticed quite a few customers here saying that their battery life has suddenly dropped back to days suggesting something is amiss with arlo.

I'd be interested in why you feel that either Smart notifications or a subscription would increase battery usage.
