Charging Grip

Only had it since April. It’s July and it broke doesn’t work anymore.

The good:Holds two batteries.Charges quickly.Has a digital display for each battery showing percent of charge.The not so good:These are personal gripes. The display does not remain backlit for easy reading. It does remain readable, however it is, bothersome to read black numbers against a dark gray background. The power consumption for a small LED display being continually lit would be negligible.It uses a USB connection to charge. My personal preference would be a standard plug.Why 5 stars if I have gripes? Because it works exactly as it is designed to do and does the job well.

I should have purchased this item a long time ago. Good rate of charge, able to quickly view charge level. Good product for price.

This charger works fine for what it is. The battery it came with had about a 77% charge and my original RING 2 battery was almost dead. It charged both rather fast. Maybe 30 to 45 minutes for the battery at 77% and about 2 hours or so for the dead one. The only issues I have is I had to move one of the batteries around to get it to start charging and the display would randomly light up. It says in the description that the light will go out after about 23 seconds and this is true. As far as I can tell there is no way to get the light to purposefully light to see the status. Maybe I missed something, but I don't think so. The display does still show the status, but it can be hard to read unless it lights up or you have enough light in the room.

I set our Ring doorbell to only pick up close movement. I have to charge the battery only once per month. And that's with several packages being delivered daily, and my children running in and out of the house constantly.

The charger itself is OK if slow to charge.But after inserting the battery supplied into the Ring stick outdoor camera I got a report that the battery is very low.Camer will not allow live view and other functions.Took the battery out and confirmed it is full at 100%.Replacing it with the original battery resolved the issue.So the battery is not fully compatible

If you have a Ring doorbell that's not hard-wired into your main doorbell system, I would recommend investing in this device. If you're like me and don't want to take a chance at not having your Ring bell active, purchase this charging station and an additional battery.

I like the fact that one battery can be in use while the other is charging.
