Any solutions for issues with low battery life for Arlo Pro in low activity area? I'm using a rechargable battery that was 100%, and withing ~60 hours now calling for charge.

Obv, something isn't right... my low usage Pro pack is sitting at 72% after almost 2 months
Normal procedure is
1) swap the battery with another to see if the issue follows battry pack
2) swap cam location with another to see if drain follows or is it location
Do you charge the battery in the camera or in a charge tube ?? Makes a diff ( tho not that much ) as a cam charge is really 80% while a tube is a real 100%
Sounds like you need to contact Netgear support

Is the camera really far away from the base station?
One camera covering one side of my house lasted for about 7 months before I got in and charged it. It pretty much triggers 0-2 times per day.
Also, has the temperature dropped away a lot in your area?

Thanks - I did charge in camera, not tube. It's a replacement battery i bought alaong with tube, I'll try that. Just disappointing, when the cameras/batteries 3.7V for standard Arlo cameras have lasted much longer.
I'll try the tube and go from there.

It's just as far from base station as others. Yes, temp dropped from 30-40 to 15-25, however standard Arlo cameras with 3.7V batteries not affected.

While charging in the tube does help life in camera, that kind of drop isn't normal. Swap batteries around to see if it's the battery or the camera.
