How do you charge the batteries that come with your Arlo Pro without having the charger? Like so many others, I ordered the charger along with the system back in December, but it seems to be indefinitely backordered....so what do I do when the batteries I am using need charging?
Thank you,

DD

You take a camera down and plug it in.

The current strategy is to pull the camera down and plug it in. There's no other way to charge them until the charging station finally becomes available.

Why don't you have the charger? You can theoretically use any charger that support the Qualcomm quick charge strategy. It needs to have both 5v and 9v outputs of at least 1.5A. You also need a quality cable to minimize voltage drop (cheap cables use smaller wires and will have issues). At least one person here has used a Samsung S7 charger successfully although if something goes wrong your warranty may be an issue.
