Question

Anyone have problems with a Ring Solar attachment Flood Light not charging the batteries? I just purchased one from Ring and notice I only have 1/2 battery remaining after 3 days. The solar panel gets over 4hrs. of sunlight each day, so there shouldn't be a problem. Comments or suggestions.  

Answer 1

I’m assuming you mean the spotlight, as the floodlight does not come in a battery version. I’ve twice had a problem where my solar panel quit working. On the one occasion I switched my one battery into the other open compartment and that fixed the problem. On the second occasion, I called Ring and they sent me a free solar panel replacement. Good luck!  

Answer 2

@knotts89 have you checked if the solar panel is producing voltage? You may also reinstall the solar power plug it is a tight fit and you will have to put a little pressure on it so it will seat before installing the screws

Answer 3

I have one. and had zero issues with it.  

Answer 4

If you have snapshot turned on to the highest setting, or the motion detection pretty high then you’ll still drain the battery faster than the panel can keep up.  

Answer 5

I think @knotts89 refers to the floodlight (light only). I haven’t had an issue, does it get a lot of motion?  

Comments

I even added a second battery in the floodlight compartment and still not charging. I'll dig around some more. If I can't get it to charge, I'll call ring tech support.
