Ring doorbell owners warned of important lights that affect your battery – know what they mean before it’s too late

IT’S important to charge your Ring doorbell correctly if you don’t want to constantly have to take it out.

Ring has long warned customers that you should let the battery charge to 100 percent.

Otherwise you’ll find yourself having to unscrew it for another charge even sooner.

But how do you know when it’s ready to be removed?

There should be lights that appear when you plug your Ring doorbell battery in.

There’s an orange light and a green light – and how they appear tells you exactly what you need to know.

According to Ring, you should charge your battery until the orange light disappears.

After this, the green light should be lit, which means your battery is fully charged and ready to be put back into the device.

So next time keep an eye out for it and don’t take it out when orange is still showing.

Ways to boost your Ring doorbell’s battery

There are other ways you can boost your Ring doorbell’s battery of course.

One trick is to adjust the motion sensors if you’re getting too many alerts.

You could reduce the sensitivity so only movements closer to the camera are picked up by your Doorbell.

Consider switching on Privacy Zones, that way you can decide to cover a smaller area rather than everything the camera sees.

And change motion frequency to ‘Regularly’ or ‘Periodically’, as this will cut down on the amount of motion alerts you receive.

You could also prevent battery drain by buying the solar charging panel – which might cut down on bills as well.
