Ring doorbell owners warned of gadget could SHUT DOWN as temperatures reach 31C today – how to protect your device
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to keep your device working properly DING DONG Ring doorbell owners warned of gadget could SHUT DOWN as temperatures reach 31C today – how to protect your device YOUR Ring doorbell may stop working as usual today as temperatures reach 31C in some parts of the UK. Ring devices perform their best when at the 'goldilocks' temperature of around 25°C. 1 The current warm spell may change the temperature of your device - particularly if it sits in direct sunlight Credit: Alamy While they typically operate normally between -20°C and 50°C, Ring devices can experience battery issues when subject to extreme hot or cold temperatures. The current warm spell may change the temperature of your device - particularly if it sits in direct sunlight. While the sunny weather might be taken as a good thing for those with a Ring Solar Charger, it may affect battery performance or cause the device to shut down entirely. "Prolonged exposure to hot weather will negatively affect the overall lifetime of your battery," according to Ring. "If your device gets too hot, it will not charge and may completely shut down." Heat can permanently damage the batteries in electronic devices - even your iPhone or Android phone - by accelerating internal chemical reactions. This can cause the battery to run through its lifespan faster, and even cause it to hold less charge over time. High temperatures can also cause the electrolyte fluid inside batteries to evaporate, which could potentially damage internal components. In rare cases, heat can trigger a process called "thermal runaway" in lithium-ion batteries, which can cause a fire. Amazon's Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus watches your front door & doesn't need any wires Fortunately, there are steps you can take to keep your device working properly and protect it from rising temperatures. Ring recommends installing the device in a shaded area, if possible. You may also need to take it inside to cool down during the hottest parts of the day. Keep an eye on the battery, Ring adds, especially in "extreme temperatures".

Ring doorbell owners are obsessed with £11 accessory after secret code discount slashes usual £25 price tag
A POPULAR ring doorbell accessory is driving customers wild as a secret code knocks more than 50% off the price. But time is short, it expires at midnight tonight! The quick-release battery pack solves the pesky nuisance of your Ring Doorbell running out of battery, leaving your home vulnerable to sketchy characters. 3 With no need for hardwiring, when the Ring device runs low, all you have to do is replace it with a Quick Release Battery for nonstop power lasting months. It comes with a handy USB charger, so it is literally as easy to juice up as charging your iPhone. However, at £24.99 from Ring's official website, the added convenience comes at a cost. But have no fear, a cheeky code can slash over £13 off the price tag. If you use code ' LOOPY20 ' in an eBay deal, you can nab yours for £11.96- but get on it quick because the deal expires at midnight. This can drastically help with home security, as usually, when you switch the battery on your Ring doorbell, you lose visibility for a few hours. One reviewer on Hot Deals raved about the deal: 'I got one the last time it was on offer, perfect to have a spare charger to swap out.' Another said: 'There is no reason you would return this; they're great.' Another branded the product: ' A game changer for home security, the build quality is impressive and it withstands extreme rain, snow and heat. 'With a fully charged battery, my Ring devices are always ready to capture and record any suspicious activity, providing peace of mind and enhanced security.' Another happy customer sang the product's praises: 'The quick release feature, which makes swapping it out incredibly easy, I highly recommend.' 3 One anxious mother of two said: 'It's transformed my life, for the first time I feel safe consistently and can sleep at night knowing that I can always check who's at the door. 'We had a break-in last year, and those few hours when we swapped the battery gave me the quivers.' Another option is the Ring Solar Charger, which is unlikely to run out of gas in summer months.
