Hello. Great question! Yes, the batteries in Ring devices are designed to go for months between charges under normal conditions. However, real battery life is dependent on factors in your home's environment, such as local weather, number of events captured, frequency of activation, and wifi connectivity. This article will cover some of the factors that could cause your battery to require more frequent recharging and some quick fixes to get the most out of your device's battery life: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405531384468-How-to-Fix-Unexpected-Battery-Drain-in-Your-Ring-Video-Doorbell-or-Security-Camera.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have it set on frequent mode, battery drain will be faster and will require you to remove the battery and recharge. The solar panel will keep it charged and will not require you to remove battery at all.
