“Attn Ring: Answering my earlier Q, dmanley says lithium batteries, below 32 deg., stop delivering high current unless Ring has a BMS system built in to monitor temps. Does it? With BMS=smart battery pack, which requires smart battery charger? Pls Clarify.”

Hi zinya. Thank you for taking the time to ask this question. The Ring Battery Doorbell has a built-in, rechargeable battery. It can also be hardwired to an existing doorbell system or transformer for continuous charging (8-24 VAC, 40VA max, 50/60Hz). As cold weather sets in, lithium-ion batteries like those used in Ring doorbells and security cameras may experience several issues including trouble holding a charge, running out of power faster than normal, or losing functionality. Knowing at what temperature batteries will start to be impacted can help you take the necessary steps to keep your device working. When the temperature drops to: 36°F (3°C): The battery may not hold a charge as effectively, resulting in having to charge the unit more frequently. 32°F (0°C): The battery may not charge at all. Even hardwired configurations may not charge the battery. -5°F (-20.5°C): The battery may stop working completely until temperatures warm up. When it gets cold and your device's battery runs out, bring your entire device inside and charge the battery with a USB cord. This will allow your device to warm up while the battery charges.
