Low and behold this the wrong solar panel.
Ring doorbell solar panel review.
Meanwhile this is for a ring 2.
Though ring sells other solar panels like one that charges the ring stick up cam the spotlight solar panel only works with the spotlight cam.
The solar charger for the ring video doorbell 2 is a small device that can be mounted behind your ring video doorbell 2.
The camera is great and the solar panel kept the camera fully charged all summer but after the first cold snap the battery dropped to 50 and won t go any higher.
I purchased a wall solar panel as the ring solar panel is not strong enough to keep a full charge on the ring doorbell 3 so i drilled into the ring doorbell solar unit running the wire from the wall solar panel and soldered the wires inside to the screw of the ring doorbell.
If clouds are in the way.
The camera that comes with ring s spotlight cam solar bundle is the same as the company s spotlight cam battery 199 but with a 7 75 by 5 5 inch rectangular solar panel that you connect to.

Ther solar charger is convenient power to help charge and extend the battery life of your ring video doorbell 2.
So if your goal is to extend the time between charges and if your doorbell does get some direct sunlight then this charger is a perfect solution.
Since i have another solar panel that is charging a ring stickup cam battery very well i expected the same results with the wasserstein solar panel for the ring video doorbell 2.
Now i see they only give you two weeks to return.
Just like the description says the wasserstein solar panel for ring video doorbell 2 needs direct sunlight.
With just a few hours of direct sunlight everyday your doorbell will stay charged around the clock.
Solar charger is a secure mounting bracket with built in solar panels designed for the original ring video doorbell.
Requires direct sunlight not compatible with the ring video doorbell 2.
I purchased the ring stick up camera and solar panel about six months ago on amazon.
The site suggested this solar panel.
The battery in the camera is supposed to go a year on a charge that will never happen.
The ring doorbell that i ordered with this was 2nd generation.
Well this is not the case.
I tried installing and wondered why it wasn t fitting.
If you want more than that you should look at a charger with a full solar panel or consider running wires to the ring doorbell.
