THE BATTERY FOR THIS VERSION OF RING IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Sometimes I need to repair consumer electronics. Our Ring Video Doorbell battery started failing. A quick search found a new old stock (NOS) battery. Fifteen minutes later it was back in action!

Thanks for taking the time for making this video. The customer support on the Ring website doesn't show you how to do this because they want you to just keep buying a new doorbell every couple years.

@lon3r1969 3 года назад

Outstanding! This is the best video on this topic that I've seen! Congrats!

@simsmr691 Год назад

Thanks for the great tutorial, just installed my replacement battery and as you said; hopefully get a few more years out of it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

@480vmotor Год назад

Thanks - was about to buy a new doorbell/camera, now I will look for a battery. I appreciate your instructions.

@johntillema5884 2 года назад

Works perfectly. Thank you for guiding me into the deep end.

Watched your video last week, ordered the battery on ebay and successfully replaced the battery. Hope this extends its life by a year or more.🤞

@grantwilson3105 7 месяцев назад

Followed your instructions and successful result. $38 for new battery vs $200 for new Ring. Thanks.

@hugorazo9448 Год назад

From a fellow Ham Mark thank you! The toughest part when fixing electronics for me is figuring how to get the device taken apart without breaking it! Your video is timely as I just discovered that our battery no longer holds a charge and requires replacing. Thanks again Hugo KA6KQL.

Hi Mark, this is the best tutorial on RU-vid to help people replace the ring doorbell battery, without this I’d have had no idea and would have paid silly money for a new one. Thanks, have a great day and stay safe. 😷 regards from a quickly sinking ship thats called the UK !

@manolist9562 2 года назад

Excellent video instruction, thank you! I just replaced the battery on one of my Ring Doorbell 1st gen but no lights and continues to get hot. Connected my trusted USB charger tester and indicates up to 2Amps draw, it fluctuates a bit even down to zero then up to 2A. Any hope for this unit?

@Marioscollectibles89 4 месяца назад

Very useful bro. Thank you!

@jovantasevski5157 Год назад

Thank you so much for the video, it is a unique instruction how to replace the battery on this model of the Doorbell Ring. I suspected a dead battery on mine but it turned out it was just a bad connection of the battery. Just disconnecting and reconnecting the battery fixed the problem. However, my problem was to access the inside of the device since I hesitated to use force to remove the metal cover. After I saw you doing it I was encouraged since I was sure that it will expose the other two hidden screws. Anyway, thanks again and 73 from a fellow ham W5DMA

@JaniceMcSweeney Год назад

Thanks for the video! My Ring is a Gen 2, which is very similar, but the battery is different (Model: 1ICP6/5056-2 S1, 3.8V 5200mAh 19.76Wh) and the battery connector was glued down, so that took a bit of effort to pry off. Also, the screws on back are torx (star-shaped) screws (T7).

Thanks for the video, I’m having similar issues as well as my faceplate you removed in the beginning is starting to show a lot of wear and tear from living next to salt water. Any idea where I can purchase a replacement faceplate as I seem to have trouble finding the 2020 model parts and accessories.

@stevenspring5108 2 года назад

After installing the new Battery I just have a solid white light on the door bell its not spinning push it and the chime rings and the light shuts off. Question do I loose my set up and do I have to go thru the process of set up. But one thing I do not get the spinning white light. Confused here I am..

@davidhaynes4143 2 года назад

Great video. I followed instructions and it worked. Only struggle was the connecting plug. I thought it slid in to snap. It actually pushes on from top. I broke the tiny little side wall while trying to slide but it still worked fine after I realized my mistake.

@paintrock Год назад

That was my only hitch as well. Fortunately, I had a magnifying loop, and I was able to see that rather than connecting pins on the body of the Ring, they were blades, and the plug had slots that snapped over them.

@joelelinski9969 6 месяцев назад

I also broke one of the tiny side walls. I am now having trouble getting the new plug to stay put after I push it into the slots. How did you affix the new plug with the side wall broken?

@avtechnz Год назад

Hi watchers. The battery is labelled as a B15169 (3.75Volts, 5000mAh, 18.75w)

@jamesmcconnell8556 2 года назад

A great video, I had already taken mine apart, but buckled the front plate slightly. I will be more careful next time. I didn’t pick up the polarity of the connection, I forgot to check it before pulling the old battery. Does the red wire go to the left side on the board? Thanks again for the great video! Jimmy

@NickD680 3 года назад

Could you run a DC supply to the battery connector on the pcb and do away with the battery?

@KA6WKE 3 года назад

You could hardwire it but I'd cut the end of a USB cable and attach the power supply that way.

@oraclebjj 2 года назад

I’m pretty sure gen1 will not operate without a battery installed. I have direct hard wired it and while it defaults to the old school for chime when the battery is dead, the unit itself ceases functioning (all video recording, motion detection stops).

@KA6WKE 3 года назад

I'm afraid I won't be able to help. I don't want to take mine apart again because the Ring really isn't designed to be opened up multiple times. Once this battery no longer holds a charge I'll purchase another one.

@ibsn87 3 года назад

This is meant to be weather proof.. every time it rains and mine gets wet the battery looses most of its charge within 24 hours.... I can’t find a replacement battery on eBay or Amazon :(

@ibsn87 3 года назад

Yourname Here if that were the case. One would expect to see motion alarms.... put it out with a full charge this morning and by 6pm it was 1% it’s gotten worse in a short period of time. Really dissatisfied you can’t get official replacement batteries for this. EVERYONE knows lipos age within 2 years. I have a number of ring products, 2 of these door bells, chimes, spotlight cams etc... but to simply not offer a replacement battery is disgusting. What they just expect me to bin my 2 perfectly good doorbells when the battery gets tired. Shithouse effort ring.

@ibsn87 3 года назад

Yourname Here yeah, I understand all that. I was just pointing out that it’s circuit board is not weather protected at all! When it’s inside and face down, It’s battery level still plummets. I want to replace the battery but ring neither offers a way to do so, or offers a replacement battery. Im most certainly not incapable of doing so - having repaired thousands of electronics in my life. Absolutely disgusting. If there was ever a motion of selling a product with planned redundancy. It’s selling a product with a lipo battery that can’t be replaced - and not offering a spare battery (even though they are still made!!!!! Again. Disgusting. Again. Do I just throw out 2 of these perfectly good door bells - I’m now in the ring eco system - very f’n average. Contacting ring via email is seemingly impossible too. Bit like the $40 tile - at least you could send it back to them for a new battery.

Thanks for the advice but I'm going to stick with the way I make videos. Yes I can go into details that others that have electronics experience may find tedious. The goal with my channel is for the beginner. Someone who has an aptitude with hand tools but lacks the electronics experience. If they have the details maybe they'll attempt a repair rather sending something to the landfill.

Wow!! You could have edited this video down to two minutes instead of having us all see that you have no clue what you are doing, just guessing!! 😏 Do everybody a favor, just show the 8 screws, how to pop the cover and connect the battery! (2 minutes even with banter ) thanks

@KA6WKE 2 года назад

My target audience are people that don't have an electronics background so I don't skip steps. I did have a clue what I was doing, I did a "dry run" prior to recording. Since you have a RU-vid account and a camera why not make your own repair video?

@PrincettaSaray 2 года назад

@@KA6WKE totally agree. You did a PERFECT job because you showed us EXACTLY what is needed to do this and how long it will take. This is necessary because we could have not completed it when we felt tension in removing it (thinking we would break it). So kudos to you for detailed information! I appreciate you!
