The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) is Ring's mid-tier battery-powered video doorbell, delivering Retinal 2K clarity with a 140° horizontal by 140° vertical field of view and Head-to-Toe video that captures visitors and packages from top to bottom. Unlike the base Battery Doorbell, the Plus features a removable Quick Release Battery Pack — slide it out, charge via Micro-USB, and snap it back in without removing the doorbell from the wall. Night Vision delivers true-color visibility in low-light conditions and automatically transitions to adaptive black-and-white in total darkness. Up to 6x Enhanced Zoom keeps distant details sharp. Live View and Two-Way Talk connect you to your front door in real time, while Motion Detection and Quick Replies round out everyday security features. Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) provides reliable connectivity. Can also be hardwired to an existing doorbell wiring system for optional trickle charging. A Ring Protect subscription is required for video history; Live View is always free.
How do I charge the Quick Release Battery Pack on the Battery Doorbell Plus?
Press the release tab to slide out the Quick Release Battery Pack, then charge it via the Micro-USB port using the included cable. Charging typically takes several hours. You can keep your doorbell fully operational while the battery is charging if you have a spare Quick Release Battery Pack (sold separately) to swap in.
What is the difference between Battery Doorbell Plus and Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen)?
Both offer Retinal 2K video, but the Battery Doorbell Plus has a removable Quick Release Battery Pack for easy charging without removing the whole doorbell. The Plus also adds Night Vision with true-color low-light capability and Advanced Motion Detection. The base Battery Doorbell uses a built-in battery that requires detaching the entire unit to charge.
Can this be hardwired to my existing doorbell system?
Yes — the Battery Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) supports optional hardwiring to an existing transformer (8–24 VAC). When hardwired, the system trickle-charges the Quick Release Battery Pack, reducing how often you need to remove and charge it. Hardwiring also enables your existing in-home chime.
Does it need a Ring Protect subscription?
Live View, Two-Way Talk, and real-time motion alerts are all free without a subscription. A Ring Protect plan ($4.99/month per device or $10/month for the home) is required to store, review, and share video clips for up to 180 days after an event.
What is Night Vision on the Battery Doorbell Plus?
Night Vision on the Plus operates in two modes. In low-light conditions (such as near a street light), it delivers true-color video so you can identify people and details accurately. In total darkness, it automatically switches to adaptive black-and-white mode for maximum clarity without color distortion.
Is this the same as the Battery Doorbell Pro?
No. The Battery Doorbell Pro adds radar-based 3D Motion Detection with Bird's Eye View, Color Pre-Roll (footage captured before a motion event triggers), and enhanced audio noise cancellation. The Battery Doorbell Plus uses Advanced Motion Detection without radar. The Pro is the premium tier; the Plus is the mid-range option.
