Solar Charger (2nd Generation) for Battery Doorbells - Video Doorbell 3, Video Doorbell 3 Plus, Video Doorbell 4, Battery Video Doorbell Plus, Battery Video Doorbell Pro

Very easy to fit. Works well and is keeping the doorbell fully charged even on dull February days.

Without this solar charger, a battery would last on average for about 25 days, with the power dropping from 100% to 30%. However, with this solar charger connected, it has been in excess of 30 days so far where the battery has not dropped below 80% which is very good! The charger is West facing, so it gets a good amount of general daylight and sun and on a nice day. Will see how this fairs during the Winter months. I expect the charging to lessen. Apart from that, it's great piece of kit to have and I would recommend getting one, especially if your video doorbell is in place where there's a good spell of sunlight. **UPDATE** - JUL 2025 - Solar Charger has been great. With the hot weather of recent, have not had to change the battery for the last 100 days!

This solar charger does not work as expected. Although the Ring app shows that it is charging, the battery level never increases. I installed it correctly and ensured it gets sufficient sunlight, but it still fails to charge the battery. Overall, very disappointing and not worth the money.

Easy to install, keep the battery topped up but does not charge as much as expected. However this maybe a location and duration of sun it gets. Good value for money.

Wow!! Easy to install as I already had a doorbell. So just took the original one off the wall added this and then put the doorbell back. I live with a door basically straight onto a little road, so a lot of motion. I was charging my doorbell maybe every other week. I have not charged my doorbell AT ALL since putting this on. Had it two months so far and it is showing 95% battery. My front door is south facing, so i'm sure that helps also. I wish I had bought this much sooner! Live and learn :-)

Been a really nice addition to the ring doorbell. It fits my doorbell perfectly. Works well keeping battery levels up

All fits together nicely, but that’s about it. Doesn’t charge very well even in direct sunlight.

It does seem to work, I am south facing so it is also is working through the winter.

I read the negative reviews before buying and decided that there were enough counterpoints to decide that the people having problems were having issues with what they have done, not with the charger. Like all solar panels, this is a trickle charger. It will generally only trickle power in slowly. However, having direct sun access is crucial because... well, its a solar panel. The sun tops the houses across the street from me early in the morning and climbs up above the edge of my roof above the door about four hours later. With that limited amount of direct sun, my Battery Doorbell Pro's battery will add about 20% charge per day thanks to this panel. Some Ring doorbells use 'optimized charging' where the cell is supposed to only charge up to a max of 80%. This 80% limit can be difficult to trigger for reasons beyond the scope of this review, but I found that on the BD Pro, if the cell is already fully charged prior to the solar charger's installation, the solar panel will do absolutely nothing until the battery gets down to about 70%. Only then will the solar charger start charging. When it does, it charges up to only 80% (stopping at 81%, actually). From there, with the sun I get, the solar charger will maintain between 70 and 80% battery charge indefinitely. I have the DBPro set to take snapshots every three minutes and do everything else that eats extra battery power. The direct sun access I get lets me do that. If your direct sun is less, you will have to adjust your settings to eat less power, or get used to the solar panel just extending battery life rather than making it never-ending. The exception to the above is the initial charge of the battery. When I installed my solar charger, I only had about a 38% charge on the battery. The solar charger added 20% per day until I was up to 100%... and then it seemingly did nothing for days until the battery slowly dipped down to 70%. Then it magically started up again into the cycle I describe above. Here again if you have limited sun access, you might not see this kind of clear result and it may look like the charger isn't doing anything.

ممتاز جداً اغناني ان شحن البطاريه تماماً

Nunca carga al 100 pero te mantiene siempre al 90 con lo que siempre funciona bien

Utilisé avec la battery video ringbell plus, ce chargeur permet de ne plus retirer la batterie pour recharger la batterie de la sonnerie. Il permet de recharger complètement la batterie de 62 à 100 % avec une exposition sud-ouest tout en conservant une utilisation normale.

Ottimo prodotto, esegue egregiamente il suo lavoro
