Dear Arlo friends. I use the Netgear Arlo Charging Dock to charge my Arlo Pro 3 batteries. Previously, when batteries were fully charged there was a solid green light. Now I get a blinking yellow light. Is the charging dock faulty? Why don't I get a solid green light when  the batteries a fully charged anymore? Do I have a full charge when I only get blinking yellow lights after a long period of charging time?

Is the battery an Arlo battery or third party? I had a spare third party battery and got the blinking yellow and it never charged after about a year. My Arlo batteries are steady yellow and then green when charged.

In addition, I would think the blinking amber/yellow light indicates a fault. Can you charge in a camera successfully? That would eliminate the battery as the problem.

Thank you for your reply jguerdat. Perhaps the Netgear Arlo charging dock is faulty. Some batteries charge fully and some charge partially. the batteries and charging dock are 4 - 5 years old.

The batteries are Arlo brand.

I thinking it's more likely to be the batteries.
