Don’t know. I think you can charge the batteries that they came with the original unit. There is an outlet inside the case of the camera unplug the cord from the sending unit and plug it into the plug inside the camera case. I’m charging the batteries now. The camera is blinking red I hope I’m knot burning it up I’ll let go for a few hours.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Each camera comes with 2 lithium AA batteries, which Blink recommends. I use Alkaline for mine and found no problem. You can also power it with standard 5V via microusb port. I have no experience regarding rechargeable batteries. I am pretty sure it will work, I only don't know how long it will last.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Blink cameras are shipped with two non-rechargeable AA 1.5v Lithium batteries and they’re easy to replace when the time comes. Simply slide open the battery compartment, take out the old batteries, and insert the new set. Blink camera batteries should be replaced by Energizer Ultimate 1.5v Lithium AA batteries or the equivalent. As long as you replace them with non-rechargeable AA Lithium batteries they should provide 40,000 seconds of video in a Blink Camera under standard use*. This is a combination of motion clips and Live View sessions. We have equated this to 2 years of use in most households. *We define standard or typical use as approximately 10, 5-second video events per day. Note: Avoid using AA Lithium Ion or Li-ion batteries as these will carry a higher voltage and may cause issues with your camera. You also want to avoid Alkaline based and rechargeable batteries, as they may cause issues with your camera.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you dispose of the batteries appropriately. These are the disposable lithium batteries that you can buy at Sam’s, etc. They are not rechargeable. The Energizer Ultimate Lithium are pretty good. The battery lifetime depends on the activity usage, up to two years. The Amazon Blink app tells you is the batteries are ‘ok’.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The batteries are lithium batteries. They are not designated as "rechargeable". When they are exhausted, you must dispose of them properly, they are toxic. They should not simply be thrown away in the trash. The life of the batteries depends on the amount of time the camera is used. The more it's on, the more power is used, the less the life of the batteries.
