Its insane that Ring didn't release this themselves years ago, always a pain having to constantly re-charge the battery.

[@BigAl-1]

I think they do offer the solar charger now.

[@Gotsocks123]

This helped me so much! Thank you! :)

[@BigAl-1]

Thanks so much for your comment and best of luck with your next DIY project.

[@JayOrlando32828]

Thanks very clear 👍

[@BigAlRepairs]

Thank you for the nice comment and for watching the video. I hope it helped. Good luck with future projects and with your Ring doorbell!

[@monitacusack7011]

Thank you so much.. helped tremendously

[@BigAlRepairs]

Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment! Good luck with future projects!

[@natelambson9677]

Thanks for the great video

[@BigAl-1]

Thanks so much for your comment.

[@BigAl-1]

@Andrew Bocas. Great question. It stays the same. It sustains the charge for a longer period of time so you don't have to change the battery as frequently. Best of luck with your next diy project and hopefully you subscribe to Big Al Repairs.

[@SWLinPHX]

Honestly, would look much better without the skin if you use the black or dark bronze faceplate that comes with it.

[@BigAl-1]

@SWLinPHX. Thanks so much for your honesty. Best of luck with your next DIY project. Thanks again and hopefully you subscribe to Big Al Repairs.

[@sissonsk]

You will need to have a Ring Doorbell with a removable battery. I have 2 Ring Doorbells and they won't work with this solar charger as there are no screw holes to screw the doorbell onto the solar charger.

[@BigAl-1]

@Kevin. Thanks so much for sharing that information. That will be very helpful to other people.

[@nikonjava]

Thank you for the video. What are your thoughts on this solar charger after 10 months of use. Does it work well?

[@BigAl-1]

Great question. Because my hose does not face the sun and we have a Porch I had to use both the charger and panel and now I no longer have to charge the battery. Hopefully you subscribe to Big Al repairs.

[@nikonjava]

Thank you.

[@21nouvelle]

Hello sir . Is the solar panel holding enough charge to continually charge the video doorbell ? Thanks

[@BigAl-1]

@ Al K. The solar panel worked well for about a year and it maintained the charge but then my wifi weny out and then the solar panel stopped working. I am going to try and see if there are any soliyions. Thanks again and hopefully you subscribe to big Al repairs.

[@binagarten4667]

will the angle plate and down hill plate cause an issue in the installation of this?

[@BigAl-1]

Bina. It should work because it installs into the plate just like the original ring. Just make sure the holes are going to line up.

[@andrewabocas]

Once installed, does the power supply change, or does it continue showing battery powered?

[@BigAl-1]

@Andrew. Yes on the app it does show you where the power is coming from.

[@danyala.1659]

Hey, I just got the Wasserstein Solar Charger. How do I know if it is working? In the app it doesn't show a difference.

[@PersonalFitness3]

I wonder will your battery percentage show 100% charged longer or at lease a higher number for a longer period of time? I didn't even know they had this. I was looking for a video on the Solar Panel for the Ring SPOTLIGHT Cam Battery and this popped up. I'm going to install it soon and see if it charges the battery from around 85% (where it's at now) back up to 100%.

[@BigAl-1]

@Danyal A. If you will check your ring video doorbell app. Go to device healthy should tell you the percentage your battery is at and if the charger is working it will maintain that percentage or even improve a little bit. I hope this helps and hopefully you subscribe to big Al repairs.

[@ayoubali4033]

does that mean i still need the battries installed in the device?? or it works without it

[@BigAl-1]

Thanks for your comment. Yes, you still use the battery but it helps maintain the charge so you do not have to recharge the batters as often. It works really well if you have an area that gets some sunlight.

[@SWLinPHX]

The solar charger IS meant to trickle charge the battery so you don't have to as often.

[@unclebugspayton]

Hey al, how’s the solar charge holding up?

[@BigAlRepairs]

It is still working great! Still charges my battery so I don't have too.

[@unclebugspayton]

Big Al Repairs sweet! Thank you

[@msmaddy2]

Where do I find the outer cover

[@BigAlRepairs]

the solar cover? or the ring faceplate?

[@mtruth338]

Will it work on Ring 3?

[@BigAl-1]

@Mike. I did look at the wasserstein website and it looks like they do have a solar charger for the ring video doorbell 3. You will have to have sunlight for it to work. Best of luck with your project. Let us know how it turns out.

[@talowmazmadden3206]

How is this product working for you?

[@BigAl-1]

Thanks for your comment! The product has been awesome. It has been really great for security especially when we are out of town.We also purchased a Wasserstein solar panel so we no longer have to charge the battery. IWe also have a video on that product. Again thanks for your comment and thanks for subscribing to Big Al repairs!

[@SeanReitmeyer]

Wait a minute, I'll check out your other video, but you just said we "also purchased a solar panel", are you saying the one in THIS VIDEO, was not enough so you got an additional panel to power it? Just curious, because your comment isn't completely clear. Thanks,

[@BigAlRepairs]

This product is especially helpful so you do not have to remove your battery to charge it all the time!

[@BigAlRepairs]

@@SeanReitmeyer Problem I have with the solar charger i this video is that my ring video is in the shade almost all day. With the solar panel (in the other video) I was able to move it out into the sunlight so it works much better, I continue to have both installed. Thanks for your comment.

[@Larry]

Its insane that Ring didn't release this themselves years ago, always a pain having to constantly re-charge the battery.

[@BigAlRepairs]

Very true!

[@BigAl-1]

@Larry. You're right it is a pain period that is why I went with the solar charger and there is also a solar panel.

[@BigAl-1]

Thanks for your comment. Ring could have made a fortune with a solar panel. It has been so nice not having to charge the battery. Hopefully you subscribe to Big Al repairs.

[@cloud_monkey422]

Ring has had solar panels for at least a year or two if not longer

[@Larry]

Thanks for your comment. I agree that Ring missed the boat on the solar panel and charger. Good luck with your next diy project. Hopefully you subscribe to Big Al repairs.

[@Larry]

@@BigAl-1 Actually don't buy the official one, IT's destroyed my Ring 2 doorbell, drains the batteries within hours.

[@BigAl-1]

@@LarryGood to know! Thanks for sharing the information about the ring solar charger.

[@Larry]

@@BigAl-1 No worries, Ring sent out a replacement to me in the end it was so bad.
