Ring Solar Charger for Battery Doorbells

Ring Solar Charger for Battery Doorbells is a weather-resistant solar panel and mounting kit that keeps compatible Ring battery doorbells charged longer so you spend less time swapping batteries.

The Solar Charger is designed to work with select Ring battery doorbells that use a fork-style power connector, including Video Doorbell 3, Video Doorbell 3 Plus, Video Doorbell 4, Battery Doorbell Plus, and Battery Doorbell Pro. It supplies supplemental power so your doorbell’s rechargeable battery drains more slowly, and it comes with a secure bracket and built-in panels made to withstand outdoor conditions.

How much extra runtime does the solar charger provide?

The charger can extend doorbell operating time by up to about 35% depending on model, location, and sunlight. Performance varies with daily sun exposure and motion activity — brighter, longer sunlight yields the best results.

• Up to ~35% longer battery life compared with earlier Ring solar chargers.
• Best results when installed where it receives 3–4 hours of direct sun daily.
• Actual increase depends on video usage, Alerts frequency, and temperature.

Which Ring doorbells are compatible and which are not?

Compatibility is limited to Ring doorbells that accept a fork-style power connector. This Solar Charger is not compatible with models that use a micro-USB connector, like the older Video Doorbell 2, or other non-fork connector devices.

• Compatible: Video Doorbell 3, Video Doorbell 3 Plus, Video Doorbell 4, Battery Doorbell Plus, Battery Doorbell Pro.
• Not compatible: Video Doorbell 2 and any Ring model with micro-USB charging.
• Check your Ring doorbell’s power connector before purchasing.

How easy is installation and what should I plan for?

Installation is straightforward and uses the included secure mounting bracket. Choose a mounting location with steady sun exposure and follow the bracket alignment to attach the charger so the connector lines up with your doorbell’s charging port.

• Includes mounting bracket and weather-resistant solar panels for outdoor use.
• Requires at least 3–4 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal charging.
• No wiring changes to your doorbell’s main circuit are needed for most setups.

What warranty and care information should I expect?

The Solar Charger ships with a one-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Regularly wipe the panel surface clean and make sure the bracket remains firmly attached to preserve charging efficiency and weather resistance.

• One-year limited warranty from Ring.
• Clean panels periodically to prevent dirt reducing sunlight absorption.
• Inspect mounting hardware seasonally and tighten as needed.

Who this is for: If you own a compatible Ring battery-powered doorbell and want to reduce the frequency of manual recharging, this Solar Charger is a practical add-on. It suits homeowners or property managers looking for a low-maintenance power supplement that performs best when mounted where it receives regular sunlight. Avoid this accessory if your doorbell model uses a micro-USB connector or if your entryway never gets direct sun; in those cases a wired power option or different accessory will be a better fit.
