Works great for charging Arlo batteries

My Arlo set of security cameras didn't come with a separate charger, so I've had to use one camera as a charger for a while now. This charger lets me actually use that camera as a camera, instead of a charger! This is so much more convenient. Just snap in the battery and you're golden. Recommended for freeing up your Arlo camera!

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • The charger may not have a fast charging option for a quick battery boost

Great product! best in my review

This charging station performed as described. It makes charging the extra arlo battery we got easier, doesn't need the camera to charge. It also charges at a decent speed, which is great. The best part is the display on the charger, makes it easier to see the progress. Overall, very satisfied so far.

Pros
  • Works Great with Arlo Pro Batteries
Cons
  • Certain batteries may not fit properly in the charger

Good Product. Quality Parts not so much. But does work

After a year or so the base was not charging then I looked at cable and it was very hot and the device smelled like burned electronic. I would not recommend this to charge your Batteries.First Review.You can Tell the plastics on this device are very cheap. Overall the charging is great even though you can find it hard to remove the batteries at time. This is a good Cheap solution to charging the batteries that part works well. I'm giving 4 stars because of the quality of the parts.

Pros
  • Works great! It charges pretty fast and is much more convenient than the cable for charging.
Cons
  • The charger may be too bulky to carry around with you

Great Value, Works Well w ARLO Batteries

This Snado LCD Display Charger for ARLO security cameras and accessories is very useful, and a great way to have extra batteries on hand. The device itself is a fat pancake shaped charger with a backlit screen that has two pictures of batteries with 4 bars, and a fast charging mode if you use your own QC2 or QC3 adapter for the plug end of the USB cord they provide. You can tell if you are in the fast charging mode, because the word "FAST" will light up on the display between the batteries…

Pros
  • Fixed arlo problem of having to take cameras down in order to change
Cons
  • The charger may make a loud noise when charging batteries

Should have just gone with the official Arlo charger.

I use an Arlo Pro, four camera setup and needed a replacement charger for the original I misplaced sometime ago. The unit displays full battery on all my cells, yet they don't have any charge at all after 6 hours each which is more than enough. RMA'd the batteries to Arlo and got replacements - same deal. Also it just feels cheap and poorly made. The USB power connector in the back doesn't fit in properly at all, leaving you there to try and fiddle with it. Absolute Garbage.

Pros
  • Love it
Cons
  • The charger may not work with non-rechargeable batteries, forcing you to purchase additional batteries

Make Sure Your Arlo Uses Rechargeables

I gave this five stars for the quality of the piece. I could not test it due to the fact that my Arlo does not use rechargeable batteries. In spite of the fact that they appear to be Arlo Pro cameras, the literature that came with the cameras specifically states that Arlo does not recommend rechargeable batteries. Interestingly enough when I look at the current advertising for Arlo, they now offer a rechargeable battery option. So verify that your Arlo uses the rechargeable before you purchase…

Pros
  • Great value
Cons
  • The charging process may generate excess heat, causing discomfort or danger

Very convenient good for me

Charges quickly & easy to use, other than I have a little trouble getting the batteries out after they are charged, but I don’t have strong hands, so others probably won’t have that problem.

Pros
  • Nervous and purchasing this item but no problem so far
Cons
  • The charger may have a complicated setup process

Works great.: my feedback

Had issues charging the batteries in the camera so this product is a great solution. Exactly as described. The status lights are great and they charge really quickly.

Pros
  • Works great
Cons
  • The charger may require you to remove your camera or security light from its mount to access the battery

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better then the included charger

I have only used this charger a few times, but so far so good. The original charger that came with my Arlo system stopped working, so I chose this as a replacement. If I have any issues with durability I will update this review.

Pros
  • Fast charge. Lights up when done.
Cons
  • Batteries may overheat and cause damage to the charger or camera

No Wall Plug/Hard to Use

Seems to me a battery charger should plug into a wall, especially one that shows a picture of it plugged into a wall. But no, it does not come with a wall plug, only a USB charging cable. Is also hard to get the batteries in and out of the charger. Feels like the charger is going to break when you take the batteries out.

Pros
  • Much faster to charge the batteries with so many cameras.
Cons
  • The LCD display may be difficult to navigate, causing frustration during use

Works just like you’d expect

After about 6 months of use, this works just as described. The only markdown I give it is for how difficult it is to get the batteries back out once their snapped in the charger. This would be great if you prefer mounting the charger on a wall but seems a little unnecessary for just a drop in charger.

Pros
  • Been working great for six months so far. Great price
Cons
  • The charger may not have enough charging ports for your needs

Doesn’t stay turned on to fully charge.

I don’t usually write reviews, but here it goes. I’m pretty upset with this product. I thought it would be faster at charging my Arlo Pro battery and it’s been 4 hours and only went from 20% to 80%. The thing keeps turning off before the battery is fully charged and I tried BOTH ports, unplugging the charging device, and waiting in between charges. It won’t turn back on to fully charge to 100%. Ugh!

Pros
  • Overall decent product.
Cons
  • The charger may take longer to charge batteries than other solutions

Keeps me ready for my opinion

I bought two extra batteries for my Arlo Cameras, so having two batteries at the ready using Arlo cameras easy. They seem to charge a little shower than having a cord plugged directly into a camera, but in my case, having extra batteries, these work perfectly.

Pros
  • Great product! Way better then the easy to break cable that comes with the arlo cameras!
Cons
  • The charger may not be compatible with other brands of cameras or security lights

Pricing good and it works

Used so far four cycles on four cameras and charged as listed. Used changing two and one at a time with no issues That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Convenient charging station.
Cons
  • The charger may only work with a specific voltage range

Works well, and much less expensive than the Arlo charger

This charger works exactly as expected. I used one of my iPad USB chargers to power it via a micro USB cable, which was included. The digital display showed that it was charging the battery, and how full the battery was. It shut off after the battery was fully charged. The charger itself didn't get warm.Seems like a good price, and beats taking one of my arlo cams down to charge the battery.

Pros
  • A fraction of the price of OEM and it works great
Cons
  • The charger may require a power source, limiting its portability

Works Great for Arlo Batteries

Charge two batteries at once! Very easy to use. Not the best materials, its obviously just a plastic shell with whatever wiring is required to connect to the batteries hidden inside. That said, it works great. Contrary to what another reviewer said, the progress indicators do work; the bars light up sequentially displaying how full they are. For instance, if a battery is half full, half the bars stay lit, and the rest blink to show that its 50% charged and still charging.No one seems to have…

Pros
  • Quick charging allows continuous battery life.
Cons
  • The charger may not allow you to charge while still using the camera or security light

Just works on my review.

I bought a set of four cameras, and promptly lost my charger. They original charger was expensive, and this after-market charger fits the bill. Simply put: it just does the job.Operation: you supply your own USB hub (if it is high-enough power, you'll see a FAST mark on the charger's small screen). Simply plug in the battery (or batteries) and it'll charge.Removing the batteries: you'll notice a small notch on one side of the battery. You need to squeeze the battery near this notch to easily…

Pros
  • Works great bought one for me first then for my daughter
Cons
  • Charging multiple batteries at once may cause slower charging times

Game changer! good for me

I thought that I wouldn’t like the fact that I had to remove the battery all together to charge the cameras but it’s a more reliable than actually finding the charger that came with the device. Plus, I can charge TWO at a time!

Pros
  • Good value
Cons
  • The charger may not detect when a battery is fully charged, leading to overcharging and battery degradation

Didn't Actually Charge my Batteries

The indicators showed that the batters were fully charged, but after putting them in the camera, they needed to be recharged again 4 days later. I never checked the charge level in the Arlo app because I assumed it was at 100%. We're back to using the USB cable to charge.

Pros
  • great product & price !!
Cons
  • The charger may not be durable enough to withstand frequent use
