It matches OEM part numbers A-12 and 308-50025-03. When the original cell degrades and the doorbell stops holding charge through normal activity cycles, this is the direct swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAVD2001 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The AVD2001 runs on a single flat Li-ion cell at 3.7V nominal. The BMS on this doorbell checks cell voltage at boot and during motion-triggered recording bursts. A cell that drops below threshold during those spikes causes the unit to cut power. This replacement matches the voltage profile and connector footprint the doorbell's BMS expects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through repeated motion-trigger simulations, monitoring BMS response during the combined processor and IR LED draw spikes. The cell maintained voltage above the BMS cutoff floor through sustained multi-event sequences without false shutdowns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApp registration after swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this battery, power cycle the doorbell once through the Arlo app. The firmware must re-register the new cell before motion recording logs correctly to cloud storage — skipping this step can cause missed clips even when the hardware is working normally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the AVD2001 goes offline in the app after a battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eReplacing the battery interrupts the doorbell's active session with Arlo's cloud. The firmware loses its session token when power drops to zero during the swap. On restart, the device attempts to reconnect, but if the app doesn't complete a handshake, the doorbell shows as offline even though it's powered and on the network. Open the Arlo app, navigate to device settings for the doorbell, and trigger a restart from there to force a clean re-registration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eApp reporting 0% or incorrect charge percentage after fitting this battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe AVD2001 uses a voltage-threshold indicator — not a fuel gauge IC — to estimate charge level. When a new cell is installed, the firmware has no reference history for that cell's voltage curve, so it can display 0% or a misleading figure. Run the doorbell through one full discharge and charge cycle to let the firmware calibrate its threshold map against the new cell. After that cycle, percentage readings stabilise and reflect actual capacity. If the figure stays at 0% after a full cycle, check that the cell connector is fully seated and the contact pins are clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377773609050,"sku":"BWCS-NAR201XL-1","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377773641818,"sku":"BWCS-NAR201XL-2","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377773674586,"sku":"BWCS-NAR201XL-3","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-NAR201XL-1.webp?v=1778772243","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/arlo-essential-smart-wired-video-doorbell-replacement-battery-37v-6400mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
