What is Quick Charge and why does the Arlo Pro and Arlo Go camera use it?

Last updated: 08.01.2025

Qualcomm Quick Charge is a technology that lets rechargeable battery-operated electronic devices charge at a higher voltage to achieve faster charging speeds than traditional USB charging allows.

Arlo Pro and Arlo Go cameras use Quick Charge technology to help you refill your batteries faster and reduce your camera downtime.

Note: Quick Charge technology only works if you use a compatible Quick Charge power adapter and power adapter cable.

  • A regular 5V Micro USB cable does not have high enough voltage to fully charge your Arlo Pro or Arlo Go camera.
  • You must use the 9V power adapter and cable that is included with your Arlo Pro camera or Arlo Go camera.
