Spotlight cam batteries draining so quickly now
troubleshooting
wireless-security-cameras
I've had 5 spotlight cams with batteries for about 10 months. They've been working great until about 2-3 weeks ago, when the batteries are now draining incredibly quickly. I'm not having any more events/live views than I've had in the past 10 months, but all of a sudden now all of my batteries are now draining completely within a few days to a week. I fully charge them before inserting. It's not currently cold where I live and my settings are the recommended ones. I am at a loss.

Is this battery drainage occurring with all 5 Spotlight Cameras? This would be unusual if so. [Linking Devices](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033904271-Linking-your-Ring-devices-together-for-enhanced-security-) can drain your battery if the Cameras are all linked, thus triggering more events per Camera. WiFi signal is also a factor that can lead to battery drainage, a poor signal can make a device work harder to remain connected. Check out your [RSSI in the device health section of the Ring app](https://community.ring.com/t/how-it-works-your-ring-device-rssi-good-vs-poor/229), to ensure for optimal wifi signal. There are [Quick Release Batteries for sale on Ring.com](https://ring.com/products/quick-release-battery-pack), in which trying a replacement for one of your Cameras could be a great test in comparison to the others. Two batteries in a Spotlight Camera battery can also help to extend battery life. Feel free to check out other accessories at Ring.com, such as Solar Panels. :)
