How do I change the battery in my Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera?

Last updated: 08.01.2025

The Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera is made of two parts. The camera and battery are together in one part, and the camera housing acts as a protective shell in a second part. Replacing the battery in your Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight requires you to remove the camera from the camera housing.

To change the battery in your Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera:

  1. Press the battery access button on the charging port underneath the camera housing.
    A clicking sound occurs, and the camera begins to slide out of the camera housing.
    Note: Keep a hand on the camera and camera housing to prevent the camera from falling when you press the battery access button.
  2. Pull the camera until it is entirely removed from the camera housing.
  3. Remove the battery by pulling on it until it slides out of the camera.
  4. Align the new battery and insert it into the battery compartment.
    Note: The battery only inserts one way.
    The camera’s status LED blinks blue after the battery is inserted.
  5. While holding the top and bottom of the camera (not the lens or light), insert the camera back into the camera housing until it clicks into place.

    Note: Pressing on the camera lens or light might leave smudges or damage equipment.
    Your Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera is ready to resume normal activity.
