Solar Pathlight Replacement battery
Has anyone had any luck finding the right-sized 18650 battery for ring solar Pathlights? One of mine died after a month or so, bulging at the top, and I can't get anyone on the line to send a replacement. If Ring just SOLD them this would be much easier. I spent an hour on hold (system said 'less than 20 minutes') and gave up. Anyone got a link to the right battery so I don't have to spend another hour+ just for a battery?

I think you could probably find brand name high quality replacement rechargeable batteries which might be a bit smaller and make them fit with metal shims

Nitecore model NL1832 is what I've been using as a replacement for a couple weeks with no issues. The 18650 comes in 3 types. Flat top, unprotected button top and protected button top. The battery from the factory appears to be a protected button top. This battery was the closest to the specs of the battery from Ring.

MThank you, I have eight of these. I bought another set to use the battery. The light comes under warranty for a year. It is a hassle and a lot of time, but I returned two just for a battery replacement. I talked to technicians, and they act as if it is easy to purchase these batteries. If Ring cannot provide an adequate solution and be honest with the customer to let them know the batteries last roughly a month depending on use, they should stop selling these lights. I love the look, just the hassle of battery replacement. I went to Batteries Plus, and they refused to sell me batteries because so many people returned them. I lucked out this company provides free shipping over a certain dollar threshold. Thank You

RI purchased two of these batteries for two of my ring path lights and they did not last more than a month. I believe the path light killed the battery just like it killed the RING batteries it came with. These path lights are the worst and to think I purchased several of them. Save your $$$ don't buy any replacement batteries, do yourself a favor and throw those POS lights in the trash.

Wonder how many people just buy a new solar light and throw the old one solar light away because ring does not sell a replacement battery? Ring has a replacement battery for cameras though!

MHonestly after just purchasing replacement batteries. It is cheaper to just buy new solar path lights. One battery costs anywhere from $17-25. Ring really needs a better solution than this. I would not recommend this product just because the battery replacement is a big issue.

I’ve had the same issue. Still searching for suitable replacements myself. Everything I’ve found in the big hardware stores has been the wrong size. IF RING JUST SOLD THEM!!!
