Solar Charger not charging
Hi i bought a solar charger and installed it 4 days ago. It keeps saying not connected so i have uninstalled it and installed it 4-5 times but keeps saying the same. I read other comments on it , the battery is now at 73% and still dropping so it is not charging. I get cloudy weather here in Glasgow but i still thought it would have charged from daylight. Can you do an update to get it charging in normal daylight. I paid £50 for this and feel it is a waste of money. If you cant fix it i want my money back. Calum

If the solar battery is hooked to the solar system but doesn't charge properly, the failure is likely to be caused by a battery problem, wrong system wiring, or a problem with the solar charge controller settings. [LiveTheOrangeLife.com](https://www.livetheorangelife.us/)

Hi @CalumRoberts. Is this a Solar Charger for a Doorbell or for a Cam? If it is for a Doorbell, I would ensure that the connections on the back of the Doorbell are secure. Next, I would reset your Doorbell and reconnect it to WiFi. You can perform a reset by pressing and holding the Setup Button for 20 seconds. If this is for a Cam, try unplugging the Cam and making sure that there is no debris in the port. Once you've done that, you can follow the same steps to reset and reconnect your Cam to WiFi. If you've tried this to no avail, Please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406).
