“i just installed Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, its hardwired. Was at 95% now down to 92%, but even when i first got it, and first charged the battery, i could never get it to go 100%. i may just got an extra battery and charging station, and if i ever need to swap, i’ll have a charged battery ready to go.”
