Mines at 50% after 2 weeks of usage. I've dropped all the settings to minimize battery drainage and motion detection. No clue why it's draining so quickly. The online reviews said it should last 6-12 months. Dhvani · April 13, 2021 30 people found this helpful. Do you? Yes | Report None of these doorbells last 6-12 months lol On the lowest power settings our ring 3 died in a few months. Meggs · January 28, 2021 10 people found this helpful. Do you? Yes | Report Mine lasts about 3-5 weeks depending on how much activity there has been. I have it set to minimize battery drain, but it still only lasts about 3-5 weeks.

The battery may deplete faster if your Ring is capturing a large amount of motion events every day. The Ring app will notify you when the battery is getting low. Make sure to charge your Ring Doorbell fully before setting it up.Ring products are charged with common micro-USB cables from any USB power source. If you're using a USB wall charger, the amperage of the charger will affect charging time. Your Ring Video Doorbell will take around five hours to fully charge when connected to a 2.1-amp charger (usually marked 2.1a) and around ten hours when connected to a 1-amp charger (usually marked 1.0a).To charge your Ring Doorbell, follow these steps:1.Remove your Ring Doorbell from its mounting bracket by removing the two security screws on the base of the doorbell and lifting it up and away from the wall.2.Connect any micro-USB charger to the charging port on the back of the doorbell.3.Your unit is done charging when the front lights have stopped spinning and are solid blue.If the battery in your Ring Video Doorbell had fully depleted prior to charging, it may be necessary to manually reconnect it to your Wi-Fi network. To check if your Ring Doorbell has reconnected to Wi-Fi, press the front button on the device. If the doorbell plays the normal sound, but you do not receive a notification on your device, the doorbell has not reconnected to Wi-Fi.Hope this helps Sheena...you won't be disappointed!Good Luck,Jerry see less Hi Sheena,With normal use, your Ring Video Doorbell's battery will last between six and twelve months.

Do you? | Report My battery lasted less than a week. My guess bad battery because there's no way I captured 1000 images in 3 days. Not happy Courtney A Stockton · February 4, 2021 7 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report Plan on charging it if you use these doors every 8 to 10 weeks. I live in NY and it doesn’t last as long in the winter. They really need to consider an upgrade to this system. paul · December 12, 2020 7 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report Mine used to go for a few months now it’s once a week. I’m wondering how long their life is Steve Jackson · February 2, 2021 5 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report Had an issue last night. Per Ring customer service, even if you hardwire it to the electricity, it is still using the battery to operate the Ring Doorbell. Hardwiring it only lets your home's doorbell chime work in conjunction with Ring. Your electricity is not powering the Ring doorbell . Therefore, your battery can not fall below a certain percentage otherwise the Ring will not respond. DENISE · January 9, 2021 10 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report Mine barely lasted a month, i thought it being hardwired with the battery was going to be a long time power source. unfortunately no. i will say when it is up and running it's worth every penny. i guess i'll just buy an extra battery and just switch em back n forth once it's starts getting low. Daniel R. · December 1, 2021 2 people found this helpful. Do you? | Report We've had ours (ring 2) for over two years. It's still at %100. Power source says hardwired. I did connect it to the house doorbell while installing it. Chris · March 23, 2023 One person found this helpful. Do you? | Report
