Easy to use and install, slow charging though. Takes hours to charge a decent amount so start on a full charge.

This does not work. It was just a waste of money. It gets direct sunlight about 8 hours a day, and still doesn’t change at all.

Hi. We are truly sorry that the item that you received did not function as promised. We understand your disappointment, and apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.
Before we ship any product, it undergoes several stages of quality checks. It is our intention to provide only the highest quality items to our customers, and we regret that your product slipped past our quality measures.
Please know that our solar charger, if placed in maximum sunlight exposure, can significantly prolong the battery life of your Ring doorbell and eliminate doorbell downtime due to charging. We do recommend that you charge your Ring Doorbell to 100% before installation to ensure maximum charging efficiency.
Please also note that the charging speed varies according to sunlight exposure (direct vs. partial). Therefore, it will charge 1% of the battery every 2 to 5 hours.
Can we also get a picture showing where your solar charger has been placed, just so we can check if there is maximum sunlight exposure? Make sure that your solar charger is pointed toward the sun and not obstructed by other obstacles. Sudden changes in temperature may affect your solar charger’s charging abilities. If this does not resolve your issue, kindly let us know. Please get in touch with us via email at [email protected] and we will resolve the issue.
Best regards, Your Wasserstein Customer Success Team

I’m pretty sure this charger doesn’t actually charge my ring doorbell at all. Maybe it would work in a more tropical region of the country?? But the charger does get a good amount of Sun here and still doesn’t seem to extend the battery life. Worth a try but glad it didn’t cost much.
