OMG!! It worked! At first we just touched the +/- and it didn't do anything. So, we held it on the contacts for about 5 seconds and it sparked! Yeah - but it still wouldn't take a charge. The next day I zapped it again and it still wouldn't take a charge so I decided to do a re-sync on my camera. It's working great - shows 100% charged!! Thank you!!!!!

Thanks for the tip. I did what you subscriped and it worked. After I gave the battery a shock I did't notice anything. When I plug the Camara in the charger and sink the base station and the camera it started blinking blue and amber light for most of the night. Someone said it looked like the camera was getting a firmware update. By the next morning the camera was fully charged solid blue light. It worked like a charm.

Well the camera went offline. When I checked the camera it was blinking blue & amber. Don’t know if it will come back on. I have the camera charging to see if will help. Will keep you posted.

The camera came on again but it looks to me I will still need another battery because this one can’t hold the charge without being hooked up to the charger.

Thank you! I used one of those small, portable jumpstart battery packs and although I didn't hear it "spark" I got my Arlo batteries revived after a few rounds of 20-30 seconds!

Man this video saved me! I made two jumpers coming off my 20v drill battery while holding on the Arlo battery for 30 seconds then rest (5 times) and sure thing… Arlo is charging now! Thanks!

Most people are unaware the voltage required to charge an Arlo battery is 9 Volts, battery nominal vontage 7.4 volts. Only use the power adaptor blocks that came with the cameras. Plugging the camera to a regular USB only 5 Volts will be available and is insuficient to charge the Arlo battery and under charge will eventually kill the Arlo batteries. Another caution, most devices have overvoltage protection but as a caution do not charge other devices with the Arlo power blocks due to higher voltages than a regular common USB charger.

That depends on the Arlo model. Some models like the Ultra charge on 5V.

I have a 6V/12V Black & Decker car charger that I'd like to try this with, but is there any risk of explosion? I'm kind of nervous since the battery is meant to be charged at 5 or 9V.

I have the same question. Since a regular charging block can do 5 or 9, and that isn't enough to wake it up, I'm thinking the charger should be set to 12V.

No that's not how it works. When the battery is completely dead the charger can't "read" the charge of the battery. It's almost as if there is no battery to the charger. It needs a "shock" to give it enough of a reading so the charger will "recognize" there is a battery there to charge.
