Question

Ring · Accepted Answer

Hello habiba,

If you've hardwired your battery-operated Ring Video doorbell, you may wonder why your battery may occasionally need to still be recharged. Unlike a purely hardwired Ring doorbell such as the Ring Doorbell Pro, a battery-operated doorbell does not use the electricity generated by the hardwire to power its regular operations. Instead, it uses the provided rechargeable battery to do all of its regular operations like ring, detect motion, and generate a Live View. The charge from the hardwiring supplies a trickle-charge to the battery. As a result, depending on what functions the doorbell is performing, the battery may drain faster than the hardwiring charge can keep up with. Therefore, there’s a need to occasionally recharge your battery.
