One of my Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight cam is having battery issues.  I just charged the cam two days ago and it’s already at 13%.   It is connected to my base station.  I have the motion at 80.  The brightness is at 83.  The video brightness is at -1.   I have it set to best battery life.

Try both the app and web client to see if one shows differently. Did you charge until the blue LED was lit, indicating a fully-charged battery? If you charge again, does it show the LED relatively quickly? In addition, since you seem to have more than one floodlight camera, swap batteries around to see what happens.

  • Were activity zones enabled?
  • About how many minutes of video streaming did the camera do? 
  • Was the floodlight on a lot?

Try turning it off for a day or so, and see how many minutes of recording per day you get.
