Rechargeable batteries for use with Arlo cameras

[chksix]

Bought a Nitecore 4 battery charger and 4 brand new Edisonbright C123 3.7v batteries for my Arlo cameras. Charged them overnight and they do NOT work in ARlo camera. Took two of them and put them in an appropriate tactical flashlight and won't even turn on the flashlight!! WHat's up with these batteries?

That's a question for your supplier, not Arlo.

have noticed frpm other posts that people have had different experiences with rechargeables.

Netgear has certified only the Tenergy 3.7 volt, gold colored ones to work with the Arlo.

Some people have posted others that work just as well; some that work but not as well, and some not at all.

Since they won't work in your teclight either, assume you either have a bad set of batteries, a bad charger, or possibly put them in the charger wrong.  Not familiar with that charger but assume you get green lights when they're fully charged.  Did this occur?

As mentioned...flashlight is a simple thing...don't work there, it's prob the battery

Those should work,  spec is 3.7 li-ion , off full charge should read 4.2v and sitting a bit , 3.18+/-

You mean 4.18+/-, Tom. 3.18v would be a little bit of a problem.

[TomMac]

yes, 4.18v ...finger slip , brain not reading screen ...or just plain messed up

For those wondering.

These are Tenergy batteries that are approved for the Arlo

Also, keep in mind that the othe version - the Arlo Pro, comes with rechareable batteries and a siren.
