They were 96% last week when installed. Earlier today was at 17% and then it went up back 96% again minutes later. What the heck? Has anyone seen this happened before?

 

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. 🙂

Only time I’ve seen strange readings is occasionally when using rechargeable cells in the Arlo HD cams...

 

If I was to guess, it would just be a bad reading ping to the base that later corrected itself.

 

keep an eye on it , and if easy I would check contacts ( wipe with eraser) and make sure you let the door push batteries in

Interesting. It seems like http://my.arlo.com has inaccurate battery percentage readings compared to iOS app's readings. Has anyone noticed this?

I noticed this in two original Arlo cameras with their new CR123 batteries sometimes. Is anyone else noticing this too?

 

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂
