Leaking battery in new sensor
contact-sensor

![PXL_20211226_062313180.MP|375x500](upload://dbjl7dDGwFgiB7k0c2iqO8km157.jpeg) We received and placed our ring alarm system 4 days ago and I got a "Low Battery" notification today. I went to check the sensor to find a water-like substance on the inside. When I removed one battery I discovered blackish-blue/green coloration (see photo) pooled inside the sensor. Anyone else have this issue? What steps should be taken?

    Those coin batteries rarely leak. Place a call to Ring and have them send new batteries. If it looks like there is any damage to the circuit board or contacts, ask for entire new sensors.
