My camera is plugged in, it shows the symbol telling me it’s charging, but the battery does not get charged. I’ve tried different cords and chargers and am using 3 different batteries. I’ve tried cleaning all the connections and ribbon cable appears to be fine. Anyone have a clue as to the problem? Thank you in advance!

It did not come with one, I bought them separately. Yes, I’ve used both the original and replacement cables.

well, a while back there was a few complaints about lack of charging with a Pro vs Pro2 using one or the others charger...

 

Its seems ( IIRC, someone correct me if wrong ) that the PROs required a dual voltage qualcom type charger with 5 and 9v output.... later Pro2s were supplied with just 5v adapters as there was some sort of HW change to just use 5v.

If you have a qualcom type charger ( like for a samsung phone ) try it ( nothing to loose )

 

Just check the output of the adapters ( fine print on cube )

 

I would say if the chargers work on a second camera ( dont know if u have a second ) then the issue is in the camera after using multi batteries for testing....

In this case you have two options;

1) if less than a year old go thru Arlo support for warranty

2) use the camera as a powered only camera as it appears to work that way
