Arlo Pro battery charge problem. Drains to 60% less than a day and that's with minimal use.

Hi, I have been given an Arlo Pro camera set and am still learning about it. I have had the Arlo Pro cameras plugged into the mains for the last few days, but want to now put one outside as I also have an Arlo Solar Powered panel. The cameras all show 100% charges while plugged in, but when I’ve unplugged one today to test it the battery has gone down to 60% in less than a day and that’s with minimal use. Any suggestion? I have read that the rechargeable batteries should last 4/6 months. My worry is that when I try and put one outside plugged into the solar panel it will not last long. Thanks

In my usage, batteries last 2-3 months....

But it just may be one bad battery, have you swapped them?

Also, you can temp place the camera and solar panel outside on a table ( or similar ) to do a test run.

Thanks for the reply. Think I had a faulty battery as when tried it on another device is working ok.
