Removing Batteries From Tiny Cameras: A Step-By-Step Guide

If you need to remove the battery from your Ring camera, the process will depend on the type of camera you have. For example, the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery (3rd generation, model number 5UM7E5) requires you to twist the camera counterclockwise and then squeeze a silver lever to extract the battery. On the other hand, the Ring Video Doorbell has a rechargeable battery located inside the device, so you'll need to remove the front plate with a special screwdriver to access the battery. Once the front plate is removed, you can press a black rectangular tab to release the battery pack and then slide it out.

Removing the faceplate of the Ring Doorbell

To remove the faceplate of the Ring Doorbell, you will need the special star-shaped screwdriver that came with your doorbell kit. If you have lost the provided screwdriver, you will need to order a replacement by speaking with customer service via https://www.ring.com. You can also order a replacement from https://www.amazon.com. You can also use a T6 torx-head screwdriver instead.

Firstly, use the screwdriver to remove the security screw at the bottom of the faceplate. Turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise until the screw comes out. Next, push up from the bottom of the faceplate with your thumbs until it comes loose. You can also use something flat and skinny, such as a butter knife, to help you pry it up. Be careful not to use anything too sharp or too big that might damage the cover.

Once the faceplate is loose, carefully pull it away from the body of the doorbell in one fluid motion. Set the faceplate aside somewhere safe. To replace the faceplate, simply snap it back into place and reinsert the security screw.

Locating the battery

To locate the battery of your ting camera, you must first power on the camera. This is done by pressing the power button, which is usually located on the top or side of the camera. Once the camera is turned on, you will need to locate the battery level indicator. This is typically displayed on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder of the camera. It is often represented by a battery icon with bars or a percentage.

The next step is to interpret the battery level. Depending on your camera model, the battery level may be displayed as bars or a percentage. If it is shown as bars, each bar usually represents about 20% of the battery capacity. If it is shown as a percentage, it will indicate the exact battery level remaining. For example, if the battery icon is completely filled, the battery is full. If it is empty, it needs to be recharged or replaced.

Some cameras also have additional features that provide more detailed information about the battery. For instance, some cameras display the estimated remaining time or the number of shots remaining. This information can be extremely useful for photographers who need to plan their photography sessions and manage their battery usage effectively. Additionally, some newer camera models may have built-in rechargeable batteries that cannot be removed. In such cases, you can usually check the battery level through the camera's menu settings.

It is important to refer to your camera's user manual for specific instructions on checking the battery, as different camera models may vary slightly in their procedures. The user manual will also provide information on any additional features or considerations specific to your camera model. By following these steps, you can easily locate and check the battery level of your ting camera, ensuring that you capture all the moments you desire without unexpected power failures.

Pressing the black rectangular tab

To remove the battery from your Ring Doorbell, you will first need to remove the faceplate. Once you have done this, you will see the battery inside the device. At the top of the battery, you will notice a black rectangular tab.

To remove the battery, you will need to press this black rectangular tab using your index finger. Pressing this tab will release the battery pack, allowing you to slide the battery out using your other index and middle fingers. It is important to be careful when pressing the tab to ensure that you do not break it or damage the battery in any way.

Applying a small amount of pressure with your index finger should be enough to quickly release the battery pack. If you are having trouble releasing the battery, check that you are pressing the correct tab, as there may be other tabs or components nearby that could be causing confusion. Once you have identified the correct tab, try pressing it again with a little more force, but be careful not to press too hard as you may damage the battery or the surrounding components.

If you are still unable to release the battery by pressing the black rectangular tab, there may be an issue with the tab itself or how the battery is positioned. In this case, it is recommended to seek further assistance or refer to a professional to avoid causing any damage to your device.

Sliding the battery out

To remove the battery from a Ring Stick Up Cam, you will need to first turn the camera so that the lens is facing away from you and the back is facing towards you. Place one hand securely on the base and the other on the stand. Twist your bottom hand counterclockwise until the indicator line reaches the unlock icon. Gently pull down to separate the stand from the camera body. Now, hold the camera so that the opening containing the battery is towards the ceiling.

Squeeze the silver lever labelled "push" and carefully extract the battery from its slot. You can use a Halberd Spudger for this step. The battery should now be loose and can be carefully slid out.

To reassemble the device, follow these instructions in reverse.

For the Ring Video Doorbell, the process is slightly different. There is no battery access from the Ring device's outer shell, so you'll need to remove the front plate to access the battery. Use the provided screwdriver with a star-shaped end to remove the security screw. Insert the screwdriver and turn the screw counterclockwise until it loosens. The faceplate will remain in place even when the screws are removed, so be careful not to drop the cover. Place your thumbs on the bottom of the faceplate and use your index and middle fingers to push the faceplate upwards.

Once you have removed the faceplate, you will see the battery inside the device. Press the black rectangular tab at the top of the battery with your index finger to release the battery pack. Now, simply slide the battery out using your index and middle fingers.

Charging the battery

To charge the battery of your Ring camera, follow these steps:

Firstly, remove the security screw on the base of the doorbell and lift the faceplate away from the wall. Next, press the battery tab to release and remove the battery. If you have a second battery, you can insert it immediately. Otherwise, you will need to charge the battery. Plug the micro-USB charging cable into the USB port on the battery. You will see red and green lights on the LEDs of the battery. Wait until the red light disappears and only a solid green light remains; this indicates that the battery is fully charged.

Once charged, slide the battery back into its compartment in the Ring camera. You will hear a click when the battery is secure. Finally, return the battery cover to the camera and secure it with the security screw. The whole process should take between 5 and 10 hours, depending on the current battery life.

For faster charging, use a wall adapter instead of a USB port on a computer. For the fastest charging time, use a 2.1-amp wall adapter.
