FARSAIL RCR123A Rechargeable Battery Compatible with Arlo VMC3030 VMK3200 VMS3330 3430 3530 Wireless Security Cameras, 12-Pack 3.7V CR123A Arlo Batteries Rechargeable and Charger

I was so tired of constantly replacing my Arlo batteries and this charger and rechargeable batteries seem to be a perfect replacement. The charger is slick with its built in USB cable and individual charge indicator lights, not to mention the fast charging. Anyhow, I just replaced my batteries and time will tell how long they last/hold up. But my initial thoughts are that this is going to be a winner - at the very least, much more convenient and less wasteful. I would definitely recommend this charger and batteries as an alternative to the regular batteries.

Fast charge, batteries fit securely. Absolutely no probles with the battery / charger set. This charger will NOT charge other rechargeable batteries, Arlo batteries only. I bought this charger with batteries and another brand of batteries that were shown as Arlo batteries. Now I have a dozen batteries that I can't charge! This is deceptive and if batteries require specific chargers or chargers will only charge specific batteries, this information needs to be provided in the description.

I received today and all 12 batteries were 60-70%. Not an issue - as expected. I filled the device with 4 and charged to completion in approx. 30 minutes. Seems fine to me. What concerns me so far is the USB connection on the charger that is built in. Once you pull it away from its defined storage slot - you have to pull and stretch it to place it back into the groove. This WILL be the source of breakage in a short amount of time if I have to pull and tug to get it to fit back into its final slot for the USB head section. Poor design!!! Which means once the charger is rendered useless - you have to purchase this all over again as these CR123 battery chargers are not universal to other CR123 batteries. This is only my initial review - nothing is wrong on day one. Just an observation to the USB connection to the charger will most certainly be a problem over time with tugging on it to place it back into its storage track. Aside from that - batteries charged and holding up today. Will report further as time goes by.Further update after charging batteries to FULL, Arlo registers as 40%. Placed new non-rechargeable in Arlo - shows 100%. Something is wrong with these batteries.Update after having for approx one week now... I have found that if I keep the batteries on the charger for an additional 20-30 minutes AFTER the charger displays fully charged - then they are truly charged to 100%. I have ran this test several times with the same results. Once the charger reads charged, if pulled out immediately - they are not fully charged. Put them back in the charger for another 20+ minutes - then they are charged. Odd, but at least I know how to fully charge them. Increased the stars from 1 to 3 since it does work, just in an odd manner.

These batteries hold a charge for a long time. They will kind of fool you because if you charge them fully they show in my Arlo Camera full but in a week they lose about 10% after that I have pulled them out after a month and checked the bolts and they dropped from a full charge 4.20 down to 4.04 which I think is great. My cameras do between 5-10 recordings per day and sometimes more depending on the neighbors cat!! Very good battery but a little pricey, but hay you get what you pay for!!

I purchased the battery charger and 20 rechargeable batteries for a 5-camera in-home security system. When pricing single-use batteries, the estimate is approximately $200 annually. The price of the charger plus all batteries is less than half that amount and the rechargeable batteries can be recharged up to 500 times. That seems like a good value for the money.The batteries charge fully in about 1 1/2 hours. Each battery charges separately so when the light turns green for the charged battery, another can be inserted while the others continue to charge.The batteries are easy to insert into the charger and more importantly, easy to get out.The charger is on a USB cable and I wish an electric socket plug with a USB connection was supplied. I'm a senior and figuring out what to do was challenging.So far the charge seems to be holding well. I am very pleased to have the charger and batteries. It gives me peace of mind to be saving money every year and to avoid constantly buying batteries.

It is great that these batteries are rechargeable and pretty affordable. The batteries did not arrive fully charged according to the devices I needed them for. That being said, I have been using them for a couple weeks and have not needed to recharge them yet. I'm optimistic that these batteries will work for a while. The charger that came with them seems to be well made, though I have not used it yet.

I use these batteries for my Arlo cameras because I was sick of buying new batteries every month. I only had the rechargeable batteries in for a week and it appears they will last the same as throw away batteries. So it's too early to tell how many times I can recharge them and how long they will last once recharged several times.

This product was a great buy. I had purchased batteries that weren’t chargeable and they just didn’t last long and then it was out buying more which adds up. Having these were great. Once batteries are low you can find a convenient time and charge them and without the extra cost. The only thing I wish I would’ve done is charged them before use. When I received them they weren’t 100% charged so I to charge after a few weeks.
