battery status out of the box?

[robertjm-RD]

Hi all,

Today I picked up an Arlo Pro 4 from Best Buy, and I'm getting it ready to install. I plugged two of the four batteries into the charging station which came with the kit, and there's a solid yellow light by each battery that's plugged in. 

Does that mean the battery is charging? Will it turn to green, or some other color, when the batteries are fully charged?

How long does it typically take to charge a battery that's fully depleted?

Lithium batteries typically are shipped with a bit less than a 30% charge - which is the limit for shipping the batteries by air.

The yellow light should turn green when the batteries are fully charged (which should have happened by now, given the time of your post).

Thanks!! The lights did turn green about 45 minutes, or so, after I posted that question, so we're all good.
