Why does battery life get worse over time?

I\’m sure you\’ve noticed that you see a noticeable difference in how well arlo camera battery holds a charge after a year or so. Have you ever wondered why it got worse? I don’t want to talk about parasitic reactions, electrolyte, electrodes blablabla. Let me talk the conclusion directly.

There are basically two main factors that speed up the inevitable death of your battery:

• High temperatures
• Increased time spent at high voltages (i.e. high charge level)

What should we do?

• To make your battery last as long as possible, you should try to charge at lower rates, which keeps the battery cooler and happier. A longer charge each night is much better than supercharging over lunch each day.
• Lithium ion chemistry prefers partial discharge to deep discharge, so it\’s best to avoid taking the battery all the way down to zero. Since lithium-ion chemistry does not have a \”memory\”, you do not harm the battery pack with a partial discharge. If the voltage of a lithium-ion cell drops below a certain level, it\’s ruined.

So do you know how to choose your Arlo battery charger station? Lithium is highly reactive, it will be more worse than short battery life if you didn’t chose charger dock carefully.
