Solar Pathway Light battery DEAD!
I have 4 of the lights, 2 all of a sudden went dead/bad. I showed 2 lights offline, did the whole reset thing and nothing, plugged them in and batteries show 100%, unplugged and they go back offline. I switched batteries with the other 2 and the lights work fine, so its not the lights its the batteries. Any suggestions this just started happening today, never a problem before. Thanks in advance

So weird. I came here to see if anyone else had this issue. Yesterday I had 2 of 4 not working. During the day they are online, but at night they are not holding a charge.

FYa, they’ve been working fine until they weren’t, hopefully the new batteries will solve the problem. All the lights get direct sunlight for a good 8 hours.

JDid Ring send you new batteries or did you buy some generics somewhere?

FRing is sending them. I have the same type of battery for a flashlight, they were shorter then the Ring battery. I think if I did buy a generic battery I would like to see it in person first. It looks like that type of battery does come in 2 different lengths though, which I find weird.

CAt least they know what you are talking about...I have chatted with them called them 2 times and nobody knows where I can find a battery..They act like they don't know anything or anywhere I can get a battery. The last rep told me they would send the complete unit and send mine back but I get a email saying it's a solar panel...I don't understand why they would not offer a replacement battery on their website. Or at least help me. I told them ITS THE BATTERY because when I plug it in through USB it reconnects but when I unplug even though it says battery full it goes offline ...I also have a Li-ion charger and it verified the battery does not hold charge..I told the rep all that ...and still the email says Solar Panel (Spotlight Cam/Stick Up Cam)(with Barrel Plug).. pretty incompetent especially from a company offering home security

I have one solar Pathlight that is behaving exactly as those in this thread. Moved the battery to another Pathlight and it behaved the same way.

FI finally received all four batteries, all the bad batteries were dated 03/08/2020. Is anyone else having issues from this lot, or are your dead batteries from a different lot?

RHaving same battery issue with battery dated 2020-04-21. Only received and installed pathlights a few weeks ago. Just one out of four has gone down so far. Did replacement batteries fix the issue?

Odd this is starting to happen all at once. I wonder if it was a firmware update.

JI spoke to their support and they are sending me two new batteries after switching them between devices. So weird for two to go out on the aame day for sure.

FYa, 2 died at the same time and the next died the next day. I still have one working battery, still haven’t received a shipping confirmation yet, hopefully I will soon.

AI have had the same issue I have 3 that are dead! & I just purchased them in April but didn’t actually put up until May. I called tech support and they told me I would have to buy new batteries for them because they don’t sell them. That’s a little upsetting.

The Solar Pathway lights do NOT recharge. The solar feature does NOT really work. I am on my 2nd set of lights and I see the same behavior. My lights face South and have plenty of Sun. I have other Ring solar devices and the battery is always around 100%. Even the Solar step lights the battery is always around 100%. This is very disappointing. The only benefit is the rechargeable battery.

RAny replies from Ring or others?? I guess no one really looks this? I just got another notification from the Ring app saying reported low battery at 1/21. The Solar on the pathway lights Does Not work. Again, this is my 2nd set. I would love to hear from Ring. Note, I am a huge fan or Ring and have all of their products. I just think this one Does Not work.
