Ring doorbell battey?
Santa brought me a Ring doorbell for Christmas. Since installing it a day or two after opening it i have already had to charge the battery a few times...it seems to go through the charge quickly.
I have adjusted the scan area and to detect people only...but may need to fiddle with it more. What settings do you fine folks use? Thanks |
that's very odd....I get a ton of alerts, and even in the dead of winter, my battery lasts 2+ months.
I called when I first got my ring, and they sent me a spare battery, which makes life much easier. I live in a 1770's stone house, never had a doorbell, and I wasn't about to try to snake a wire out there. If you have or had a wired doorbell, just hook up the wires, it'll keep the battery charged, even if you don't use the chime inside the house. |
Have you looked at the Ring Doorbell solar charger? It is a simple installed unit which mounts to the wall with small solar panels. Does require a few hours of sunlight to charge it. After mounting it to the wall your Ring mounts on top. Its about 1/2 inches longer than the Ring and about 2 inches wider.
Worth taking a look at... |
You got a bad one. Should be a warranty on that... Instructions on mine said to fully charge for 16 hours, then after that, it lasts several weeks.
|
Can't you get power from the existing doorbell wiring?
|
Somethings wrong. They should last much longer unless it’s recording all the time.

I have two of these in use. Get minimum of 6 weeks out of the batteries recharging them when Ring message me to say 29% left. Damp and cold here which cannot help battery life. Yorkshire Stone walls so definitely wouldn't drill holes through them for cables.
|
Mine lasts over 3 months but I have motion set pretty low. It does get rung almost every day with deliveries.
