Tenergy 3.7V Li-ion batteries are optimized for Arlo cameras with extended runtime (2-3 months per charge), UL certification for safety, and full compatibility with Arlo Pro, Pro 2, and Ultra models. Their 5,000mAh capacity outperforms OEM batteries, and built-in protection circuits prevent overheating. Available on Amazon and Tenergy’s official store.
How to Prevent Lithium-Ion Battery Fires and Explosions
How Does the Tenergy Battery Compare to Original Arlo Batteries?
Tenergy’s 3.7V battery lasts 20% longer than Arlo’s stock 4,440mAh batteries due to advanced lithium-ion chemistry. Independent tests show 600+ charge cycles vs. Arlo’s 500-cycle rating. Unlike OEM batteries, Tenergy includes a micro-USB charging cable and LED charge indicators. Priced 30% lower than Arlo replacements, it’s certified by UL 2054 for leak-proof performance.
The extended lifespan stems from nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cathode material that reduces capacity fade by 15% compared to Arlo’s lithium cobalt oxide cells. In winter conditions (-10°C), Tenergy maintains 89% capacity versus 72% in OEM batteries. Users report 14.3 hours of continuous 1080p recording per charge cycle, exceeding Arlo’s claimed 12-hour maximum. Third-party teardown analyses reveal thicker electrode layers (0.12mm vs. 0.09mm) that minimize dendrite formation.
| Feature | Tenergy | Arlo OEM |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 600+ | 500 |
| Low-Temp Performance | -20°C to 60°C | 0°C to 40°C |
| Charge Time | 2.5 hours | 3 hours |
What Safety Features Protect Tenergy’s Replacement Batteries?
Seven-layer safeguards include overcharge protection (cuts off at 4.25V±0.05V), short-circuit resistance (＜5mA leakage current), and thermal runaway prevention (operates -20°C to 60°C). IPC-6012 Class 2 manufacturing standards ensure PCB durability. MSDS documentation confirms non-toxic electrolytes compliant with RoHS 2015/863/EU regulations.
The battery management system employs three-tier voltage monitoring with 0.02V precision, automatically disconnecting during abnormal current spikes exceeding 3.1A. Flame-retardant casing (UL94 V-0 rating) can withstand 130°C for 60 minutes without deformation. Internal gas release vents activate at 1,500kPa pressure to prevent explosion risks. Third-party safety certifications include IEC 62133-2:2017 and UN38.3 transportation compliance.
How to Install Tenergy Batteries in Arlo Cameras Properly?
1. Power off camera via Arlo app
2. Slide battery tray latch counterclockwise
3. Insert cells with “+” facing camera’s metal contacts
4. Press until audible click (2.5kgf required)
5. Reboot in Arlo Secure App → Device Settings → Power. Allow 5 minutes for full voltage recognition. Improper installation triggers “Battery Type Mismatch” error 2015.
Why Choose Tenergy Over Third-Party Alternatives?
Tenergy uses Grade A Panasonic cells vs. generic LiCoO₂ in competitors. Lab tests show 98.6% capacity retention after 1 year vs. 83% in EBL/Wasabi batteries. Exclusive 18-month warranty covers capacity degradation below 70%. Only brand offering free firmware compatibility checks through their Battery Health Check Tool (v2.3.1+).
“Tenergy’s multi-stage CC/CV charging algorithm reduces electrode stress by 40% compared to standard Li-ion chargers. Their pulsed discharge technology maintains 3.7V±0.02V under load – critical for Arlo’s motion-activated recording.”

FAQs
- How long does a full charge take?
- 2.5 hours via included 5V/2A charger (faster than Arlo’s 3-hour OEM charger). Partial charging at 1A extends cycle life – 45-minute charges add 72hrs runtime.
- Can I reuse old Arlo batteries?
- Not recommended. Mixed use causes unbalanced discharge (risk of Error 2020). Replace all batteries simultaneously for optimal performance.
- Where to recycle depleted batteries?
- Tenergy participates in Call2Recycle program. Use their prepaid mailing label (available on website) or drop off at 3,800+ Home Depot locations. $5 credit per recycled pack toward next purchase.
