So, I opened the Ring app to check if the doorbell was connected but to add to the misery, I could not see <a href=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/ring-doorbell-wont-go-live\/\">my front door live<\/a> and its <a href=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/ring-couldnt-load-your-locations\/\">location was also not shown<\/a> on the app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That made me inspect my Ring doorbell for any <a href=\"https:\/\/bringuptodate.com\/ring-doorbell-flashing-blue\/\">flashing blue lights<\/a> but there was no light flashing on it and it means, the doorbell wasn&#x2019;t working !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was hard for me to believe this !!

Why is my Ring doorbell showing low battery when hardwired?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>If your Ring doorbell says &#x2018;low battery&#x2019; when it is hardwired, there is possibly an issue with the wiring or the mounting bracket. Also, if it is not connected to the internet, its battery status won&#x2019;t be updated on the Ring app. Reconnect your doorbell to the Wifi and check if this updates the battery status. If your Ring app also shows low battery on the doorbell as per the latest battery status, fix the faulty wiring and the mounting bracket.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. Why does my Ring doorbell switch from hardwired to battery ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>If your Ring doorbell keeps switching from hardwired to battery, it means it is unable to keep up with the trickle charge supplied by the hardwired setup and heavy usage of the Ring doorbell is draining out the battery very fast. To fix it, change the settings for your Ring doorbell from &#x2018;heavy usage&#x2019; to &#x2018;moderate&#x2019;. It works to reduce the load on your Ring doorbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. Does a Ring doorbell use battery when hardwired?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>If your battery powered Ring Video Doorbell is hardwired, it actually does not use the wired connection to stay charged and run its operations. It depends on its battery for its operations. The trickle charge which the doorbell keeps getting from the hardwired connection, is used solely for the purpose of charging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. Why does my Ring doorbell battery last only one week ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>If your Ring doorbell&#x2019;s battery is draining out very fast and stays only for a week, it might have been caused by a poor Wi-fi connection. Due to a poor Wi-fi connection, the doorbell disconnects and reconnects very frequently to your Wi-fi which wastes it&#x2019;s energy and adds to the battery drainage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. Can you overcharge a Ring doorbell battery ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>No, it is certainly not recommended. Overcharging the doorbell battery leads to reduction of the battery life and in future, the battery will keep draining faster than before. So, once the doorbell battery is charged, disconnect it from the Power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion :<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I conclude, I want to mention a few important points. To begin with, when you hardwire your Ring doorbell, it does not matter which terminals the wires have been connected to. In any case, the doorbell will function. Hardwiring, on the other hand, can exhaust the batteries due to heavy load.It happens when the doorbell is heavily used and it cannot keep up with the heavy electrical load.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, a similar approach can be used by disconnecting the Ring doorbell from the Ring app and then connecting again. This must be done to remove any Ring product which might have been bought, changed or then, abandoned for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly, ensure that the Wi-fi connection delivers uninterrupted and strong internet connection.
