2. The battery is not removable. 300-day battery life is based on Tapo laboratory tests with 230s of use per day. Increased usage of 360s per day reduces battery life to 180 days. The time of use includes recording and watching live views. Actual battery life may vary due to device settings, usage, router specifications, and environmental factors.
