Keeps Ring camera charged up for months if it gets plenty of sunlight
I have had the original version of this for a little over 2 years, and have now purchased the newer version, which has the same product title, and looks like it is the same product.The newer one has a new AMZN page, but I think they are the same product:Original AMZN page (currently unavailable): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085DVTYHNNew AMZN page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B3F9LS2GHere are my experiences with the product over the past 2+ years.I have just replaced it with the newer one and don’t have enough experience yet to say if it is identical or not.My installation placement was so that it received full sun for several hours. It works pretty good, and kept the Ring doorbell charged for many months in all seasons. I did have problems and had to manually remove and recharge the Ring camera when we had a week or more of clouds and rain–in that case, the Ring battery went to zero after about a week or so.I have replaced the product now because the original one will no longer charge the camera due to the 3 solar panels being totally degraded. Orginal panels are slick and shiny, but 2+ years old panels look like black sandpaper. They no longer produce any power.Overall, for the price it’s a good product, even if it has to be replaced every couple of years. That works out to about $25 a year, plus the bother of re-installing the new one, which just went right back where the old one already was — same mounting holes, screws, size, etc. I put the same old Ring camera back on the new solar charger.If this little solar charger won’t work for you, then you probably need a remote solar panel. Look for the ones sold (or similar with the right connector you need) for the Ring Stickup cams. Those are large panels, and can be placed at a distance and are easier to face towards the sun. I have several of those with Stickup Cams, and I’ve never had to manually recharge those batteries that are connected to the large panels, even during those long cloudy rainy periods.

Surprised
After installation I noticed the battery wasn’t being charged, then I noticed once the battery level reached 75%, the battery level was being maintained from 75% to 76%. So it actually does charge and maintain the battery level.

Worked for a year
I’m in sw Florida, full sun on this thing basically all day. At first it was great. Full charge alll the time… Recently it was not behaving. Sometimes it would charge the batteries sometimes it wouldn’t. Finally completely gave out. The solar panels just a topped working and got cracked. I keep It clean but I think the plastic covering is poor quality.Its cheap enough to replace, but wish it wouldve last longer than one year. Here’s to trying again!Ps. Very easy to install and easy to connect.

Doesnât really charge well for me..
This is the second solar charger for a doorbell Iâve had and neither of them have done a great job at keeping the doorbell charged. My front door has a SMALL overhang and gets direct sunlight onto the actual unit but it still doesnât keep it charged. My last one at my old house had no overhang and also had direct sunlight and it stopped working quickly.

Great for increasing or maintaining charge in high traffic areas.
I am so happy with this product, as it keeps me from having to charge my Ring doorbell frequently. I have a Ring doorbell placed in a high traffic area and this charger works perfectly. This is easy to install, especially if you have a Ring doorbell already in place. The holes line up with your existing doorbell, so it’s easily installed in less than 5 minutes. All the tools and screws are included, so you won’t need anything additional. The charger is connected through the same port used for USB charging. Be sure to put this where there is ample sun to get the best results.

Customer support great!.
Set up April 2024. Worked great. Then stopped working in September. Would not recommend!Updated 11/22/24Customer support contacted me right after I posted this review. They sent me a “Chime” doorbell to help w/ the issue. So far seems to be working.
Good as the original and cheap. East to apply. Fantastic. –
Great with a solar charger
We got a really good price on this with the solar charger. I wanted to put one of these at a summer cottage that we have so I could see whatâs going on out there and this did the trick. If you buy one of these for whatever you use it for, though, I suggest you buy the solar charger for it because the battery life on the ring doorbells is not that great and itâs a pain to bring it in and charge it all the time. Especially if you live in a colder climate or in the winter, you definitely need to invest in the solar charger.
