The light comes under warranty for a year. It is a hassle and a lot of time, but I returned two just for a battery replacement. I talked to technicians, and they act as if it is easy to purchase these batteries. Has anyone had any luck finding the right-sized battery for ring solar Pathlights?
The battery from the factory appears to be a protected button top. This battery was the closest to the specs of the battery from Ring.
One of mine died after a month or so, bulging at the top, and I can’t get anyone on the line to send a replacement. Ring does not offer replacement batteries for the Path Lights they do however sell replacement batteries for the cameras. Sadly those only lasted a month each and are once again totally dead so either these lights begin to cause faster battery drain after time or the aftermarket batteries are no good.
I rather go with 4D batteries, you can put the lights wherever you want. I went to Batteries Plus, and they refused to sell me batteries because so many people returned them. Nitecore model NL1832 is what I’ve been using as a replacement for a couple weeks with no issues. Flat top, unprotected button top and protected button top.
Save your $$$ don’t buy any replacement batteries, do yourself a favor and throw those POS lights in the trash. If Ring cannot provide an adequate solution and be honest with the customer to let them know the batteries last roughly a month depending on use, they should stop selling these lights. I love the look, just the hassle of battery replacement.
Honestly after just purchasing replacement batteries. It is cheaper to just buy new solar path lights. Ring really needs a better solution than this. I would not recommend this product just because the battery replacement is a big issue.
I purchased two of these batteries for two of my ring path lights and they did not last more than a month. I believe the path light killed the battery just like it killed the RING batteries it came with. These path lights are the worst and to think I purchased several of them.
On the Ring website, they do seem to offer replacement batteries, but they are listed as $29 apiece, which seems like a lot of money to me.
