What is the battery life for the Ring Alarm Glass Break Sensor?
When you use three new batteries, then they are expected to power your glass break sensor for up to 3 years.
The battery life could shorten due to extreme temperatures as this device is designed to be operated within a range of 32°F to 120°F (or 0°C to 49°C).
Depending on how the glass break sensor is used, then the battery life could deplete sooner than expected.
How to extend the battery life for the Ring Alarm Glass Break Sensor
In order to extended the battery life of your Ring Alarm Glass Break Sensor, you can activate the Power Save Mode for the device in the Ring App.
With this mode enabled, the sensor can still detect glass breaking in Home Mode and Away Mode if you set the Mode Settings to “Armed and Monitored.”
By setting the Home Mode and/or Away Mode to either “Disarmed” or “Ignored When Armed.” then the sensor won’t be able to detect glass breaking.
