Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Ring keypad battery last between charges?
A Ring keypad battery typically lasts 6-12 months between charges, depending on usage frequency, temperature, and signal strength. Heavy usage or extreme temperatures may reduce battery life.
Can I use my Ring keypad while it's charging?
No, the Ring keypad must be removed from its mount to charge, so it cannot be used during charging. Plan to charge when you'll be home to monitor your security system through other devices.
Why does my Ring keypad battery drain so quickly?
Fast battery drain can be caused by weak WiFi signal, extreme temperatures, frequent use, or an aging battery. Try moving closer to your router or contact Ring support if the battery consistently drains in less than a month.
What happens if my Ring keypad battery dies completely?
If the battery dies completely, you won't be able to arm or disarm your Ring Alarm system using the keypad. You can still control the system through the Ring app until you recharge the keypad.
Can I replace the Ring keypad battery myself?
No, the Ring keypad has a built-in rechargeable battery that cannot be user-replaced. If the battery fails to hold a charge after normal use, contact Ring support for warranty replacement options.
