Hi LindaL.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having longevity in the battery life of your Ring Spotlight Battery. Having longevity in a battery-powered security device is crucial when it comes to monitoring your home. We want to ensure your device is working as intended by providing you with solutions to resolve the battery life concern you mentioned in your review.

It sounds like you are concerned about the battery life of your Ring device. While batteries in Ring Smart Lights will last for months with normal use, there are several factors that may impact battery life, such as the local weather and the number of activities captured. Try adjusting the following settings to get the longest battery life from your device:

Set Light Sensors to 0 or 1 so that the lights only turn on if it's very dark.
Reduce the brightness to the lowest setting.
Set Group Auto Shutoff time to 30 seconds.
For alkaline (replaceable) battery devices, we strongly recommend using name-brand batteries such as Amazon Basics, Duracell, or Energizer. Always use fresh batteries of the same brand.

To reduce motion triggers:
Only enable motion on the lights that are accurately detecting motion, and let those lead lights activate the whole group. This will extend battery life as well as reduce notifications.
Avoid pointing lights toward potential heat source or moving object. Heat sources and waving objects such as wind chimes might trigger motion.
