For anyone searching about the 'low battery' issue with the Wired Floodlights, after spending 90 minutes on the Support Team merry-go-round of 'turn the power of' and 'is it plugged in right?' It was confirmed from their Senior Support that it, and I quote, "it looks like an issue is with the hardware of the camera."
BUT...
Since it's out of warranty, even though it's clearly a hardware issue that has made the $300 camera useless, Google is unwilling to do anything about it.
There are multiple threads about this with no real solutions because Google does not have one. They acknowledged the problem back to me via email and seem to be lucking out that most of the time it's going fully dead after folks warranty has expired. I firmly believe there is a fundamental design flaw in the battery or charging solution for this camera and they won't invest to fix it or make things right for their customers.
Who would have thought that a WIRED camera would be thwarted by a bad battery.
The other interesting thing is that I never received any notifications that the battery was dead. I noticed I wasn't getting alerts anymore and had to go find out for myself the device was offline, and apparently dead.
Unfortunately Google doesn't seem to care about my business. I have two homes with subscriptions and will be moving away from their solutions across the board based on this. I hope this post helps others having the same issue so they can start saving up to renew their $300 per year floodlight subscription.
