I would like to thank you for your posts and contributions! I want to make sure you take a look at an article outlining best practices when it comes to batteries. For those involved in this discussion I encourage you to review Remember these golden rules for your Arlo camera batteries along with BATTERY WARNINGS AND SAFETY.

 

We strongly recommend using one of the following types of batteries:

  • The non-rechargeable batteries supplied with your Arlo Wire-Free cameras
  • Tenergy Li-Ion RCR123A 3.7V 650mAh rechargeable batteries specifically marked “Works with Arlo”
  • Non-rechargeable batteries from other high quality, established, well-known manufacturers such as Panasonic®, Energizer®, or Duracell®

 

NEVER try to recharge the C123A batteries that came with your Arlo camera as they are non-rechargeable.


Thank you for sharing!

Netgear does not sell or recommend using rechargeables at this point...

 

But that said, other users and myself do and there are long threads on this , if you don't want to read it all ( it is recommended ) at least read the last couple pages

 

 

two things... don't buy china junk cells and buy a very good charger

I have tried regular batteries, which are short lived. So I purchased the charger and five sets of four each of the "NITECORE RC123A 3.7V 650mAH NL166. They last at least two months on a recharge. They are not cheap but in the long run will pay off.
