One of my cameras is having battery issues lately.  The app and camera indicate low battery power but two separate battery testers confirm all the batteries I have replaced are good.  Yes I save the batteries to recycle them.  I am replacing batteries weekly now vs every 2 months.  When I tried putting in the “bad” batteries back in the camera the amber light indicates low battery power.

Use a voltmeter to read the voltage.  What do they show? A new battery will be about 3.2v, a nearly dead one will be about 2.75-2.8 volts. The cameras have different requirements compared to, say, a flashlight since the current draw is much different.

 

Could be due to >5 minutes of recording and live view per day on average or a source of 2.4GHz interference has been changed. Try swapping cameras around to see if the issue remains with the camera or location.
