Ring 2 doorbell, hardwired, has been gradually losing charge for last two months. Now down to 28%. Set all frequencies and sensitivities to lowest setting. Is this just a cold weather thing? Never saw this in the summer or fall.

Cold weather, power doesn’t flow through cold that well. You can push more power with a new transformer if you want.

Lose the doorbell, and replace the light at the door with a floodlight cam.

During the fall when the weather was mild I had it set on maximum sensitivity as we had some bad activity in our neighborhood and the charge went down from 100% to about 5%. I dialed back the sensitivity and the charge gradually come back up to 100%. This seems to be temperature related.
