They include the charging time of the battery, the battery’s life, and the amperage of the USB port. The procedure for charging is as given.
Take the doorbell out from the wall. Now unscrew the faceplate of the doorbell. Now take the doorbell out from the sides with care.

Battery’s life,
Weather and amperage of the USB we are using,
The Wall adaptor we are using for charging the battery,
The temperature of the battery and the home’s temperature.
But now the question is how to check the battery life through the Ring App, so here are the steps that you should follow.
Open the app and go to the home page.

How can I come to know when the Ring battery is charged?
There are some indicators fixed inside the ring battery that will emit light and show us the battery status. When the charging is full then the solid green light is emitted. When alternative LED light will be red and green is emitted then the battery is in charging mode.
Through this LED we will come to know about the charging status or you can go ahead and check that with the app. The battery once charged will last for around six to twelve months, if it is fitted in the doorbell.
But in case it is fitted with a security camera then it lasts for around four to six months. It will depend that how long that battery will last it will be depending on which device it is being used.
How can I change my ring battery faster?
There is no specific way. As per my research, there is no such straightway which can help you charge faster. If the charging is really slow then you should replace the batteries that should help you charge faster.
How long it should take to charge the Ring battery for the first time?
It will take six to ten hours to get the battery charged completely. Now when the battery is drained off will depend on your use. It can get drained off in two months or it can be stored for six months in the battery. It will depend on:
Your consumption of the doorbell
External heat
Extreme snow
Unstable Wi-Fi connection
For the first time, you should charge that for 10 hours.
How many times you should charge the Ring camera battery?
You should charge the battery in a month. Just the thing you should take care that if the battery is drained off it will ultimately take more time.
You should take care that it should not drain out completely. It is said that you should battery after five to six months generally.
But you should consider the usage of the battery, outer temperature conditions, etc. Also if the battery is low you can get notifications on the app if you have installed the app and connected it to the doorbell.
A stable Wi-Fi connection also plays an important role in battery consumption. So concluding the context is like we cannot say that you should charge after 5 months or six months it will depend on the consumption of the battery and the other factors. As soon as you came to know that battery is low you should charge it.
How to turn ON the feature power usage?
Steps for turning the feature power usage to on are:
Open the Ring app and in that go for three lines on the top left corner.
Select the devices and in that go specifically for the doorbell.
Now go to power settings and select battery status, below that you will see the feature power usage.
