Ring Solar Charger (2nd Generation) for Battery Doorbells - Video Doorbell 3, Video Doorbell 3 Plus, Video Doorbell 4, Battery Video Doorbell Plus, Battery Video Doorbell Pro

Been a really nice addition to the ring doorbell. It fits my doorbell perfectly. Works well keeping battery levels up

Without this solar charger, a battery would last on average for about 25 days, with the power dropping from 100% to 30%. However, with this solar charger connected, it has been in excess of 30 days so far where the battery has not dropped below 80% which is very good! The charger is West facing, so it gets a good amount of general daylight and sun and on a nice day. Will see how this fairs during the Winter months. I expect the charging to lessen. Apart from that, it's great piece of kit to have and I would recommend getting one, especially if your video doorbell is in place where there's a good spell of sunlight. **UPDATE** - JUL 2025 - Solar Charger has been great. With the hot weather of recent, have not had to change the battery for the last 100 days!

During the long summer days the charger does the job …charging the battery as it should but during the autumn/winter days doesn’t work at all ! You will need spare battery as a replacement or original one to keep charging from mains power as solar charger does nothing literały nothing .since October to December I’ve had to charger the battery three times as on minimum usage settings .So please keep in mind that this works only during the summer days. Obviously the solar charger is exposed to the sun all the time and still does not charge during shorter days. I’m using two batteries so no problem being disconnected all the time here but I’ve thought that paying £50 on the day of purchase this solar charger will resolve charging issues .

Easy to install, keep the battery topped up but does not charge as much as expected. However this maybe a location and duration of sun it gets. Good value for money.

I bought this product in April for use in South West UK. I’ve been away for 8 months & it’s brilliant. You can view the charge left on the Ring app - it hasn’t ran out yet. Impressed it works this well in England. Without charging the battery should last 60 days - it’s been 7 months, it’s winter & the battery is at 80%+

I bought a solar charger for my rear door Ring 4 (south facing), installed last week of February , and tested for 2 weeks. To be honest, it doesnt really benefit unless you get at least a few hours of direct sun a day. You will otherwise see the battery level going down daily even with very light use. The mini solar panel is not really up to the job in low light for UK. With hind site I would probably have bought the larger solar panel charger, as I could put this on a fence, and would probably work better in lower light. On 3 / 4 occasions over the last 2 weeks on test, it also does not show connected on the App, even below 80% battery level , and did not seem to charge at all. (note: It took a day or so, to show that its connected / charging when first connected, which is really not very clever, as you really need instant way to check its working - this is normal apparently ). A reboot through the app seems to be needed to resolve on the few occassions it seem to stop working. This may be a firmware issue so will give it a few months to see if it improves on connectivity . I assume if the solar pack battery drops to a low level, it forgets that its connected. As long as it charges in Spring / Summer, then I dont mind having to charge manually once a month in the darker months. So will give 3 star for now, and will update in a few months, if improves. *** Update *** - Ring support kindly contacted me via amazon and offered to send me a new larger solar panel to test. Great service ! Will update with results ,

Easy to fit and it definitely works, but only fits the one with removable battery so its fit and forget or a spare battery which is cheaper and keep taking it apart.

Very happy works well keeps battery topped up all the time
