Why does the battery die fast? I only had my ring spot light for 7 day and I’m already had to charge the battery 4 times? null

Question

Gibby · Accepted Answer

Mine only lasts 1-2 weeks on my inside cam. Very disappointing when Ring says 6-12 months! Can’t really tighten the zones much as it covers a 15 ft area. Plus what good is it if you can’t capture all the motion?

I have the same problem. I have the settings set to the smallest area and still has to be replaced every four weeks at the most.

Lori · Answer

Yes. Mine picks up everything even with the parameters very tight - causing the battery to run out fast.

Try adjusting your motion.

You may need to adjust your notification sensitivity. If it is high and your close to a road it will continously trigger and run the battery dead. My battery lasts about 2 months per charge depending on how much traffic I have in front of my house

Turn you motions down

I have had my spotlight for quite some time now and the battery lasts at least a week or more. Have you checked your settings? Do you leave the light on all the time or just when there is motion? Leaving the light on or setting sensitivity too high can drain the battery
If not, then you either have a defective battery or unit. I would contact customer service

Might be in your settings or in your motion setting and could be its in a high traffic area

Samugrif · Answer

You may have your motion detection set very high, try to adjust to lower sensitivity

Pinkeye · Answer

Change the motion to right in front of your house

Ring · Answer

Hi El,

The battery in your Ring device may deplete faster if your Ring is capturing a large number of motion events every day. If your device is capturing an excessive number of events daily, you can try adjusting your motion settings. We can provide you with some additional tips as well. Please email me at Bilan.jenkins@ring.com. I hope to hear from you.

The more activity the more the battery life is used. I would go Solar and you never have to charge the battery.

Just buy a second battery and keep one charged.
