I have been running Arlo since May 2017, and see various topics, none recent, about sudden battery drops.  

 

Let me first say, they last long enough.  No real issue with that.  It is the way they end their life.  With my normal 1-2 minutes active a day (I have it watching a beehive), I went from 84% 2 days ago, to 47% yesterday, to 25% today, and I guarantee you in the next day or two it will be inaccessible asking to change batteries.

 

This has happened in nearly the same exact way with the 4 sets of battteries I have installed since 2017.  Again, no issue with overall life, just the suddenness of the drop.

 

I know there is a pretty quick knee drop on LiION batteries, is that what I am experiencing?  Do others have this same experience?  These have all been Energizer batts.

 

Thanks.

I would say something is wrong. I have an original arlo for my backyard that stays on 24/7 and gets 4 or 5 videos a day with the dog squirrels etc. I change mine every 3 months and they dont drop suddenly
