The Ring Video Doorbell 4 uses a removable, rechargeable Battery that can last during 6 until 12 months between each charge. The actual duration really depends on the model and the usage of the device. In practice the experiences vary a lot.
Some users charge it only once per month and consider that quite good. Others notice that the energy drains in only three or four days, what really becomes annoying.
Ring Video Doorbell 4 Battery Life and Charging
The settings of motion detection seriously affect the speed of the Battery drain. When the camera always records moves, the energy use grows quickly. Here a good example: if one lays the device beside a fan the moving air commonly triggers the camera constantly, what fully drains the Battery in around a week.
By lowering the motion sensor and precise setting of the options one can extend the Battery life until eight or even ten weeks. Other factors are low temperatures. The cells in the Battery can freeze, what disrupts the internal chemical processes and lowers the skill.
In really cold weather the Battery itself can turn the device off for safety.
Charging the Battery of the Ring Video Doorbell 4 back up takes around 5 until 10 hours. It has an easy open lid, that allows you to remove the Battery without taking the whole device off the wall. Then you simply connect it with a micro-USB-cable or a charger.

Besides the Battery, the Ring Video Doorbell 4 has smart motion detection, custom zones for moves and fast answers, so that you can talk with guests even when away. The privacy settings also are flexible, and everything works in the Ring-application from wherever you are, from motion warnings or info about packets.
The doorbell works also with wired connection to an existing electrical circuit, what provides constant energy and practically removes the Battery issue. Many folks use wired setup for their doorbells, because the oldest models had that. If wiring is not possible, the Battery version does not need anybody to drill or do wire work.
One even can set it with double-sided glue, although screws mainly willhold more firmly.
Replacement batteries are available from Ring itself and from third-party sellers. The standard replacement is a 3,65 V Battery with 6040 mAh capacity, practically same as the original spec. The rechargeable lithium-ion Battery from Ring fits only with the Video Doorbell 4.
