Ring doorbell 2, 3 week battery life
battery-video-doorbell

Last summer I bought a ring doorbell 2. All the reviews said you'd get about 4-6 months out of the battery. I did have some motion features on and was getting about 2 weeks battery. I have since turned off all the motion, so now it's just a doorbell that chimes on my phone, yet I still get only 3 weeks. I have even sent it back for a replacement in case it was a faulty unit, bit it's the same, just 3 weeks. How is it this bad?

    Hi @bendavis. There are a few things that contribute to battery life. The [RSSI](https://community.ring.com/t/how-it-works-your-ring-device-rssi-good-vs-poor/229) of the device as well as the amount of activations per day will determine how long the battery lasts. With a good RSSI (-40 or better), you should expect to get around 800-1,000 events, give or take, before your battery needs to be charged. For reference, 18 events per day will take around 45 days to reach 800 total events. If you are having excess recordings, try adjusting your [Motion Zones](https://community.ring.com/t/feature-update-customizable-motion-zones-for-battery-devices/13965) to be more conducive to your surroundings. I hope this information helps!
