Arlo Certified Li-Ion 3.7V Rechargeable Batteries (4 Pack) are optimized for Arlo devices, offering extended runtime, enhanced safety protocols, and reliable performance. These OEM-certified batteries undergo rigorous testing to ensure compatibility with Arlo security cameras, providing 100% charge retention for up to 6 months in standby mode. Their built-in circuit protection prevents overcharging and overheating.
How to Prevent Lithium-Ion Battery Fires and Explosions
How Long Do Arlo Certified Batteries Last on a Single Charge?
Arlo’s 3.7V batteries deliver 3-6 months of typical usage in security cameras, depending on recording frequency and environmental conditions. In continuous streaming mode, they last 2-3 days. The 18350 cell format provides 1200mAh capacity per unit, with 500+ charge cycles before capacity drops below 80%. Thermal management systems optimize discharge rates across temperatures (-20°C to 60°C).
Battery longevity significantly depends on camera settings and environmental factors. Users operating in cold climates (below 0°C) may experience 20-30% reduced capacity due to lithium-ion chemistry limitations. For optimal performance, avoid exposing batteries to direct sunlight during summer months – sustained temperatures above 45°C accelerate electrolyte degradation. The table below shows typical usage patterns:
| Usage Scenario | Estimated Duration | Recharge Cycles |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Motion Detection | 5-6 months | 600 |
| 24/7 Recording | 2-3 days | 400 |
| Extreme Temperature Operation | 3-4 months | 350 |
What Safety Features Do These Batteries Include?
Multi-layered protection includes: 1) Current interrupt device (CID) for overpressure prevention 2) Positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors 3) Overcharge protection up to 4.35V 4) Short-circuit resistance below 0.1Ω 5) UL 2054 certification. The stainless steel casing withstands 150kg crush resistance, while separator membranes prevent thermal runaway up to 150°C.
The CID mechanism acts as a fail-safe by physically disconnecting the circuit when internal pressure exceeds 10kPa, effectively preventing explosion risks. PTC thermistors regulate current flow during rapid charging, maintaining resistance levels between 50-100mΩ to prevent overheating. Third-party teardown analyses reveal these batteries employ ceramic-coated separators that maintain structural integrity at temperatures 40% higher than industry standards. For comparison, generic lithium batteries typically feature only 2-3 protection layers versus Arlo’s 5-stage safety system.
“Arlo’s battery certification process exceeds industry standards, implementing MIL-STD-810G vibration testing and 85% depth-of-discharge limits that triple cycle life compared to generic alternatives. The proprietary electrode coating reduces lithium plating by 60%, crucial for maintaining capacity in security devices requiring reliable backup power.”

FAQs
- Do these batteries work with Arlo doorbells?
- Compatible only with Arlo Essential Video Doorbell (2022+ models). Earlier doorbell versions require different voltage specifications.
- Can I use third-party chargers?
- Not recommended. Arlo’s smart charging algorithm requires specific voltage curves (CC-CV phases) only available in certified adapters.
- How to check remaining battery life?
- Through Arlo app: Devices → Select camera → Settings → Device Info → Battery Status. LEDs blink green (≥50%), amber (10-49%), red (＜10%).
