Hi @thomas1971f. The battery should not be draining that quickly unless the Doorbell is recording a large number of events. Review the Event History in the Ring App to see if there is a large number of dings, motions, or Live Views on a daily basis. If your Doorbell is seeing a lot of activity, you can try lowering the motion sensitivity, adjusting the Motion Zones, or adjusting the [Motion Frequency](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115003477106-Understanding-and-Optimizing-Motion-Detection-with-Motion-Frequency) settings. If everything looks to be in order with the settings and you don't see a lot of events in the Event History, then I'd suggest trying a reset and a new setup of the Doorbell. To reset it, you'll simply hold down the setup button for at least 20 seconds. After that, you can take it through a new setup by following the steps under Set Up a Device. Should the battery still be draining quickly after trying all of these suggestions, please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406). They will be able to run more diagnostics to see what could be causing the battery to drain at this rate.
