Arlo Camera Batteries

Replacement Batteries for your Arlo Cameras

The latest trend in home security is for homeowners to eliminate monthly membership fees and costly installation by installing their own security systems. One of the most popular home security setups currently is the Arlo Smart Security System, which includes wire-free cameras. While setting up a DIY home security system is a cost-effective solution to home monitoring, without the monitoring of a third-party service, it's even more important to keep your system up and running at all times.

Arlo wire-free security cameras each run on four CR123A lithium non-rechargeable batteries. While batteries are included with your initial purchase, over time you will need to purchase replacements. BatteryJunction.com is an in-stock distributor of Arlo camera batteries, offering a broad selection of brand names and packaging options. Whether you purchased the single camera option (Model #VMS3130) and only require four replacement batteries, or you've set up 20 cameras throughout your property with model #VMS3530, we have the right batteries and packaging options to suit your needs.

Single-Use versus Rechargeable

According to the Arlo website, the wire-free cameras have been designed for use with non-rechargeable CR123A batteries. For best results, it is recommended that you continue to use these single-use lithium cells. We recommend sticking to the well-known manufacturers, such as Panasonic, Energizer, and Duracell. Lithium batteries work best with long-drain devices, such as your Arlo cameras, which are running 24/7 yet are only "working" a fraction of that time. Lithium Arlo camera batteries are also capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, which is necessary for outdoor fixtures. These disposable cells also offer a longer lifespan when compared with the more well-known alkaline chemistry. Lithium non-rechargeable batteries also typically last longer than rechargeable cells, at least initially. The biggest difference between disposable and rechargeable cells is their long-term usage. Over time, rechargeable batteries last longer because you can recharge them; however, the application of the battery is really what matters when comparing the two. Rechargeable batteries work best in high-drain electronics that require a lot of energy, whereas lithium disposable cells work best in long-drain devices that require a constant stream of low power.

If you are looking for a rechargeable option, Arlo recommends utilizing the Tenergy Li-ion RCR123A batteries, which have been designed exclusively for use in Arlo cameras. These are the only rechargeable batteries we recommend for your Arlo home monitoring system as they have been extensively tested. According to the NetGear website, "the use of any rechargeable batteries with Arlo Wire-Free cameras is expressly and strictly prohibited, as they may pose a fire or burn hazard, or damage your camera."
