Nest Cam Battery, I have it plugged in and recording 24/7, Battery went dead.

How many amps does it need available?

Does it need more than 5volts, like a turbo charger?

Hi MrDLG2u,  

I'm an end user like you.  The first thing I would try is take the camera out of service and just try to charge it and see if the battery comes back up to at least 75% charge.  This will tell you if the battery is still good or not.  I might be bad and need replacing.    But I don't think this battery is user replaceable.

As for the specs not he charger I looked on the Google website and they sell Google approved power adapters but they don't offer any specs on them.  Take a look at the power adapter you have and see how many WATTS it is rated for.  For this topic WATTS is the important number. If you have an adapter with a higher wattage then that might fix the problem.

Here is a link to the ac adapters that Google Sells.  Hope this helps

it did recharge back to 100%.

it was very funny to see what the App said when I would try different power supplies.

some of the very  small wattage charges said it would be "changed in 48 hours"

larger wattage chargers said 8 hours...
