Batteries lasting only 4 days

[plasmo]

I've had my 5 Arlo cameras for more than a year now, and typically my batteries have been lasting around 4-6 months (low traffic areas).

Just last week, two of my Arlos needed replacement batteries (which lboth asted about 5 months) only after 4 days of use.

There were no change in settings, and only getting about 10 motion detection notifications/day, recording 10 sec each.

On day 4, I am already getting warning email reminders that the batteries need replacing! These batteries are from the same batch that I had with the prior batteries.

I also tested the 4-day "dead" batteries, and the battery tester and it does show decent charge still.  I tried powering down the cameras but the battery indicator still shows low battery level.

Any suggestions (other than getting new batteries)?

At the very least, let them run down completely if your circumstances allow. It sounds like it's a display issue, not a real one. Monitor them closely, though.
