Bsioff Ring-Compatible Battery 2-Pack Review: Cheap extra power for your Ring setup

I picked up this Bsioff 2-pack of rechargeable batteries with the charger for my Ring Video Doorbell 3 and a Stick Up Cam, mainly because I was tired of juggling one original Ring battery and waiting hours for it to charge. The official Ring batteries are pretty expensive for what they are, so I wanted to see if a cheaper brand actually holds up or if it’s just junk you regret buying after a week.

I’ve been using them for a bit now, swapping them in and out of the doorbell and camera, and charging them only on the included dock. I haven’t babied them, just used them like I would the original Ring battery: let them run down to around 10–15%, then charge them fully. So this is coming from normal, everyday use, not some lab test.

Right away, the main thing I was looking for was simple: do they last roughly as long as the original Ring battery, and do they charge reliably? If they could do that, I’d be happy. I wasn’t expecting miracles. If they died in a week or gave weird errors in the app, then straight back to Amazon they’d go.

Overall, they’re not perfect, but they’re pretty solid for the price. There are a couple of small annoyances, especially the micro‑USB charger and the very bright LEDs, but in day-to-day use they mostly just work. If you want a no-BS opinion from someone using them in a regular house with normal Wi‑Fi and a couple of Ring devices, that’s what you’ll get here.

Price is really where this kit makes sense. For roughly the cost of one official Ring battery, you’re getting two compatible batteries plus a dual charging dock. If you’ve got more than one Ring device or you hate having your doorbell offline while the battery charges, this kind of setup just makes life easier. You keep one or two always charged and just swap them out when needed.

Are they as polished and reassuring as the official Ring batteries? No. The fit is slightly looser, the charger uses micro‑USB, and the build feels cheaper. But in daily use, they work close enough that, for me, the price difference is hard to ignore. I’d say you get about 80–90% of the official experience for a much lower cost. That’s good value for money if you’re not obsessed with everything being original brand.

Where you might want to think twice is if your Ring setup is critical for security and you don’t want to mess with anything third-party. In that case, you might prefer to stick to Ring-branded batteries for peace of mind and warranty reasons. Also, if you only have one Ring device and don’t care about having a spare ready, you might be fine just buying one extra official battery and charging via the camera or doorbell itself.

For most regular users though—especially anyone with multiple Ring devices or who lives in a busy area where the battery drains faster—this Bsioff kit makes financial sense. You’re essentially buying convenience and backup power at a discount. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done without costing a fortune. If you’re okay with a few compromises in finish and design, the overall value is solid.

Design-wise, Bsioff basically copied the shape of the official Ring battery, which is what you want. The key thing is the fit inside the devices. On my Ring Video Doorbell 3, the battery slides in and clicks, but it feels just a touch looser than the original. Not loose enough to rattle or fall out, but you can tell it’s not OEM when you insert it. Same story with a Stick Up Cam Battery: it fits and works, but the click isn’t as firm as the Ring-branded one.

The charger design is simple: two bays, one micro‑USB input on the side, and LED indicators on the front. No buttons, no extra settings. It’s basically “plug in and forget.” The plastic is standard cheap-but-okay type, nothing premium. It’s light, which is good if you hang it off a wall socket, but it also feels like you don’t want to drop it too often. The base is flat enough to sit on a shelf without wobbling.

One design choice I don’t love is the micro‑USB port. In 2026, most people are on USB‑C for phones, tablets, and a lot of accessories. Having to keep a separate micro‑USB cable around just for this charger is a bit annoying. It works fine, but it feels outdated. If they had gone with USB‑C, it would be more convenient and also feel a bit more future-proof.

Functionally though, the design gets the job done. The LEDs are easy to read: red = charging, green = done. They are honestly brighter than they need to be, which can be annoying in dark rooms, but at least you always know the status from a distance. Overall, the design is basic, slightly cheap-feeling, but practical. If you care more about how it works than how it looks, you’ll be fine with it. If you’re picky about everything matching your Ring gear perfectly, you’ll notice the difference.

The batteries are rated at 6040mAh, 3.65V, which on paper matches up well with the official Ring battery. Obviously, I didn’t lab-test the exact capacity, but based on how long they last compared to my original Ring pack, the rating doesn’t seem wildly inflated. If anything, they’re in the same range, maybe slightly under in heavy-use scenarios, but not by a huge margin. I never felt cheated on capacity.

Reliability so far has been decent. No random disconnects, no Ring app warnings, and no weird behavior when the charge gets low. The battery percentage drops fairly steadily: you see it go 80, 70, 60, and so on, not stuck at 40% for hours and then suddenly dead. That steady drop is what you want because it lets you know when to swap them out before they fully die. I usually swap at around 15–20% just to be safe, and then throw the empty one on the dock.

The dual-charging dock is actually one of the main advantages of this kit. Being able to keep two batteries topped up at the same time means I can rotate them between the doorbell and camera without ever having to bring the whole device inside. That’s a big quality-of-life thing. The downside, again, is micro‑USB. It works, but you probably already have a pile of USB‑C cables and fewer micro‑USB ones lying around. Also, there’s no wall adapter, so factor that in if you don’t have a spare charger.

In terms of heat and safety, I didn’t notice anything scary. The listing mentions multiple protections (overcharge, over-current, over-voltage, short-circuit, etc.). I can’t verify all of that, but the charger never got hot enough to worry me, and the batteries haven’t swelled or done anything strange. For a budget kit from a lesser-known brand, that’s about as much confidence as you’re going to get from normal use. If you want guaranteed long-term reliability over several years, the official Ring ones still feel safer, but for everyday rotation, these are holding up well so far.

Durability is always a bit tricky to judge early on, but I can at least talk about build and how they’re holding up so far. The plastic casing on the batteries feels fine—not premium, but not flimsy either. I’ve dropped one from about waist height onto a hard floor once (by accident), and it didn’t crack or show any visible damage. It still works normally, so at least it survived that basic real-life test.

The contacts on the batteries line up well with the Ring devices and with the charging dock. After multiple insertions and removals, I haven’t seen any bending, corrosion, or weird discoloration. The latch area hasn’t worn down to the point where the fit changed. Yes, they still feel slightly looser than the original Ring battery, but that hasn’t gotten worse over time. Once they’re clicked in, they stay put.

The dock itself feels like the weakest point in terms of durability. It’s very light and made from thin plastic. If you’re careful and just leave it on a shelf or plugged into a wall socket without yanking it around, it should be fine. I wouldn’t toss it in a bag or move it constantly. The micro‑USB port also feels like something you don’t want to stress too much: plug the cable in once and leave it there, rather than plugging and unplugging every day.

Long-term, I’d expect the official Ring batteries to probably outlast these by a bit, especially after a couple of years of charging cycles. That’s just my guess based on brand and typical cell quality. But given the price, even if these last a good year or two of regular use before noticeably degrading, they still offer pretty decent value for money. So far, after repeated charges, I haven’t seen any big drop in runtime, which is a good sign. If anything changes later, this is the kind of product I’d just replace with another cheap kit rather than stress about it.

Let’s talk about the main thing that matters: how long these actually last in a Ring device. In my Ring Video Doorbell 3, with motion alerts on, a few dozen events a day, and live view used maybe a handful of times, I got just over three weeks on one full charge. That’s very close to what I usually get from the official Ring battery under similar conditions. If your doorbell gets hammered with constant motion (busy street, lots of people, high sensitivity), your results will be lower, but that’s true for any battery.

On my Stick Up Cam Battery (3rd gen), which records less often, I saw roughly a month of runtime before it dropped to around 20%. Again, pretty similar to the original Ring battery in that camera. I didn’t notice any weird behavior in the Ring app: it reads the battery percentage normally, no sudden drops from 40% to 5%, and no random shutdowns. That’s important, because some cheap third-party batteries can show unstable percentages or cause the device to reboot. I didn’t run into that here.

Charging speed is decent. From around 10–15% to full, using a normal 5V phone charger plugged into the dock, it took around 5–6 hours per battery. With both slots filled, they still charged overnight without any problem. The charger doesn’t seem to overheat; it gets slightly warm but nothing worrying. The batteries also stay only mildly warm during charging, which is normal for lithium-ion. The LEDs flip to green reliably when they’re done, and I haven’t caught them falsely saying “full” too early.

So in practice, performance is good enough that I don’t think about it much, which is what you want from batteries. They’re not magic; they don’t last twice as long as Ring’s own, but they hold their own. For the price, getting two batteries that behave this close to the original ones is solid. I’d still trust the official battery slightly more for critical stuff, but as daily-use spares, these are doing the job without drama.

Out of the box, you get two batteries and one dual charging dock. There’s also a USB cable, but no wall plug, so you’ll need to use a phone charger or plug it into a USB port on a power strip, PC, or whatever you have. That’s pretty standard these days, but still worth mentioning so you’re not surprised. The brand on the listing is Bsioff, which I’d never heard of before, but that’s kind of normal for these third-party Ring batteries.

The batteries themselves are the same general shape and size as the official Ring ones. They slide into the Ring Doorbell 2/3/3 Plus/4 and the compatible cams like the Stick Up Cam and Spotlight Cam. On my Ring Doorbell 3, they go in without forcing, and the latch closes properly. They feel slightly lighter than my original Ring battery, but not by a huge amount. They’re labeled as 3.65V and 6040mAh, which is roughly in the same ballpark as the Ring battery specs.

The dock is pretty compact. It has two slots, so you can charge both batteries at once, which is the whole point of buying a kit like this. The LEDs on the front show red while charging and green when done. They’re bright enough that if you leave the charger in a dark hallway or bedroom, you’ll notice them glowing. I ended up moving mine to a hallway socket so I don’t see the light at night.

In terms of first impression, it looks and feels like a budget but functional kit. No fancy packaging, no big brand vibe, but it doesn’t look like total junk either. If you’re used to Ring’s more polished packaging, this feels more basic, but you’re clearly paying for function, not presentation. For the price point, that’s fine by me as long as the batteries hold up over time.
