Mailbox Sensor short battery life
I just had to replace the batteries in my Mailbox Sensor after ten weeks. (In each case with brand new Duracells.)I see that this time it says the (expiration 2030) batteries are at 27%Every ten weeks is inconvenient, particularly since there's no low-battery alert. Oh, and I wonder if I could've changed them without removing the mounting tape?I'm also wondering if the batteries showing this low brand new could be related to the Mailbox Sensor being 115' away, and being slightly obstructed, from the Bridge. (I doubt that, I would think that the battery strength reading occurs and the Mailbox Sensor, and reaches the Bridge accurately as long as there's a signal.)

I’ve also noted a short battery life for the mailbox sensor very recently.

Same issue as above. Can support advise what has been done after 6mos?

I know this thread is closed but just adding another data point; I just saw the same as the OP. I installed brand new mailbox sensor on 2021/10/18, then on 2021/12/24 it disappeared from my ring.com. I found all AAA batteries were very low and replacing them with brand new AAAs got the device back online.I'm in Atlanta, GA. Indeed the temp went down to 0C in the morning for the last 1 month before it went offline.> Oh, and I wonder if I could’ve changed them without removing the mounting tape?This, I was able to replace batteries without breaking any tape (I bought the sensor in question in 2021/09 FYI).And no notification for low battery is bad.

I suppose it’s been a while since anyone was talking about battery life of these ring mailbox sensors, but I can’t even get mine to last 12 hours. I would live with 2 weeks.
