Safety Rules for Arlo Rechargeable Batteries

Arlo wire-free cameras use rechargeable batteries and can go wherever you need them. The original Arlo Wire-Free camera (VMC3030) uses non-rechargeable for more information, visit Safety Rules for Arlo Non-Rechargeable Batteries.

All batteries can explode, catch fire, and cause burns if disassembled, punctured, cut, crushed, short-circuited, incinerated, or exposed to water, fire or high temperatures, so you need to handle them with care.

To use Arlo rechargeable batteries safely:

  • ALWAYS store spare batteries in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
  • ALWAYS make sure that the battery compartment is clean and free of any debris before inserting new batteries.
  • ALWAYS make sure the battery contacts are aligned.
  • ALWAYS keep all batteries away from children.
  • ALWAYS follow local waste and recycling laws when throwing used batteries away.
  • ALWAYS use an Arlo Power Adapter or an Arlo Charging Station (sold separately) to charge Arlo batteries.
  • NEVER place Arlo batteries in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle, especially those containing metal objects.
  • NEVER store Arlo batteries with hazardous or combustible materials.
  • NEVER let an Arlo battery compartment get wet before, during, or after installation.
    Remember, your camera is weatherproof, but its interior battery compartment and batteries aren't.
  • NEVER disassemble, cut, crush, puncture, short-circuit, dispose of in fire or water, or expose your Arlo Pro or Go Rechargeable Battery to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
