Where can I purchase Ultra 2 XL batteries only.  ARLO shows back order for weeks

A quick Google of "arlo xl batteries" has various results. I see they're available at Amazon, for instance:

https://www.amazon.com/Arlo-Certified-Accessory-Rechargeable-VMA5410-10000S/dp/B087CJWM48

That is the housing+battery, not just the battery.  Sold by Amazon, not Arlo, and Amazon has uplifted the price to about $15 USD over MSRP.  $95 is pricey if all you need is the battery, but it is an option.

Most sites I've checked show it is out of stock, and expected to be in-stock in 4-6 weeks.

I am seeing a couple of third-party batteries that claim to be compatible

• https://www.amazon.com/Ibatts-13000mAh-Battery-Spotlight-308-50019-02-308-50034-01/dp/B09ZLF54MR
• https://www.amazon.com/Kastar-308-50019-02-308-50034-01-FB1001-100NAS-FB1001W-100NAS

No idea if they work or how well they perform, but if you need the batteries ASAP that might be an option.  Note these do not include the housing.

I was rather of the impression that's the only way to buy the XL batteries - with the extended cover. Guess not.

No, the VMA5420 is the XL battery w/o the housing.  That was released shortly after the Go 2 was launched.

List is $20 USD cheaper than the VMA5410 (same battery bundled with the housing).

•  https://www.arlo.com/en-us/accessories/VMA5410-10000S.html

Both are currently out of stock at Arlo.com and most other sites.

Being new to Arlo and the community help, I am so grateful to get quick reply and know I will feel more comfortable as I keep reading and understand the system.  I have   been with ADT for 20 years.  I finally said enough is enough. ..like 72 minute wait on phone.  I just need to be patient and keep learning.  Thank you for being there!!!!!

I learned also...

You are so kind to reply.  I truly truly appreciate the assistance.  I am brand new and so nervous learning.  It will just take time.  I don't understand whythe cameras would not charge when I put them on the cord attachment and plugged into wall and left overnight. Since both would not charge, I am thinking it could be the cord???  I am trying to get the new batteries to get the cameras back on line.   Again, thanks for assistance.  I will keep trying and wait for back order.
