Jsoprtvr Quick Release Battery for Ring Review: a practical backup kit that mostly does the job

I bought this Jsoprtvr 2-pack mainly because I was tired of my Ring doorbell dying at the worst moments. The official Ring batteries are not cheap, and I wanted to see if a third-party option could keep up without causing headaches. I’ve been using these for a few weeks now in a Ring Video Doorbell 3 and a Stick Up Cam, swapping them in and out with an original Ring battery to compare.

Right away, the thing that stands out is the price versus what you get: two batteries plus a dual charging dock with a digital display. On paper, it looks like a pretty solid deal. In practice, it’s not perfect, but it’s far from junk either. You just have to know what you’re buying and accept a couple of quirks.

The brand is clearly a no-name Chinese manufacturer, and you feel that a bit in the finish and the tiny manual. But the product itself is not flimsy. The batteries slot into my Ring devices, the charger powers up, the LED display shows the charge percentage. Nothing fancy, but it works. The main question is: how long do they last compared to the original battery, and are they safe enough to use without stressing about them overheating or dying too fast?

Overall, after using them daily, I’d say this kit is good for backup and convenience, not something I’d rely on as my only power source if I absolutely needed top reliability. If you want cheaper batteries to rotate and keep your cameras alive, it makes sense. If you want the same consistency as official Ring batteries, you’ll probably notice a difference, but it’s not dramatic.

In terms of value, this is where the Jsoprtvr kit actually shines. For the price of one official Ring battery (or sometimes even less), you get two batteries plus a dual charger with a display. If you have multiple Ring devices or you’re just tired of your doorbell going dead, this is a pretty solid way to build a rotation without spending too much. You do sacrifice a bit of battery life and polish, but not enough to make it pointless.

Compared to buying just one extra official Ring battery, this kit gives you more flexibility. You can always keep one battery charging and one in use, and still have your original Ring battery as a backup. That means your cameras are almost never offline. For me, that convenience outweighs the slight performance gap. Also, the charger itself is useful even if one of the third-party batteries dies later – you can still use it to charge official Ring batteries.

The downsides on value are mostly about long-term reliability and small quirks. You might not get the same lifespan as an original battery over several years, and the deep-discharge behavior is a bit weird. Also, the use of micro USB instead of USB-C feels outdated, and there’s no included wall adapter, so you have to use your own. None of these are dealbreakers, but they’re the kind of details that remind you why it’s cheaper.

Overall, I’d say this kit is good value for money if you treat it as a practical backup solution, not a perfect replacement for original Ring gear. If you want guaranteed top performance, stick to the official stuff. If you just want more uptime for less cash and can live with minor quirks, this set makes sense and does what it’s supposed to do.

Design-wise, these batteries are clearly modeled after the official Ring batteries, but with a slightly cheaper feel. The plastic casing is a bit lighter and more matte. The latch mechanism works, but it doesn’t feel quite as tight or smooth as the original. That said, I never had one pop out by itself or fail to click in, so in everyday use, it does the job.

The charger is pretty compact and light. It’s made of basic black plastic, nothing fancy. The main plus is the LED digital display in the center. Each battery slot has its own percentage reading, so you can see if one is at 35% and the other at 82%, for example. Compared to the usual simple red/green lights on cheap chargers, this is actually useful. You know if a battery is almost done or if it still has a couple of hours to go.

One slightly annoying design choice: the charger has a built-in micro USB cable instead of USB-C. It works, but micro USB in 2026 feels dated. If that cable breaks, you’re stuck. There is also a micro USB port on the charger itself, so you can use your own cable, but again, it’s not USB-C. It’s fine, but if you’re trying to have one type of cable for everything at home, this one doesn’t help.

In general, the design is practical but clearly budget. It’s not ugly, it doesn’t look like it will fall apart in a week, but you can tell you’re not dealing with a premium accessory. For the price bracket, I think it’s acceptable. Just don’t expect the same feel as official Ring hardware, especially when you handle the latch or plug the batteries into the charger.

The dual charger is honestly the main reason this kit makes sense. Being able to charge two batteries at the same time saves a lot of hassle if you have more than one Ring device. I plugged it into a regular 5V/2A USB wall adapter and it had no problem charging two drained batteries at once. From roughly 10% to 100%, it usually took me about 5–6 hours per battery when both were charging together. That’s in the same ballpark as charging a single Ring battery on an official charger.

The LED digital display is actually useful, not just a gimmick. Instead of a simple red/green light, you see the approximate percentage as it climbs: 10, 25, 50, 80, 100. It’s not surgical-precision accurate, but it’s enough to decide if you can already grab the battery and throw it back into the doorbell. Sometimes the Ring app will show a slightly different percentage than what the dock said, but it’s close enough that it doesn’t matter much.

The only time the charger annoyed me was with fully drained batteries. If you let the battery go completely flat in the camera and then plug it into the dock, sometimes the display stays blank for a bit, and you’re not sure if it’s dead or just thinking. In my case, leaving it plugged in for a minute or two usually made the numbers appear. I didn’t have to return anything, but I can see less patient people thinking the charger is broken. This is one of those quirks you only realize after using it a few times.

Day to day, though, the combo of two batteries + one dock just makes life easier. I keep one battery in the doorbell, one in the charger, and I rotate them. I don’t have to take the whole doorbell off the wall or leave the camera offline for hours. For any Ring setup with at least one battery-powered device, this type of rotation setup makes sense, and this kit covers that need pretty well, even with its small flaws.

On durability, I obviously haven’t had these for years, but after a few weeks of regular swapping and charging, nothing feels like it’s falling apart. The plastic casing on the batteries hasn’t cracked, the latch still clicks properly, and the contacts haven’t corroded or bent. I’ve dropped one battery from about waist height onto a hard floor (by accident), and it survived without any visible damage or performance drop.

The charger has been sitting on a shelf, plugged in most of the time. It doesn’t get especially hot, even when charging two batteries at once. It warms up slightly, which is normal, but nothing that screams danger. The brand mentions overcharge, overdischarge, short circuit, overheat, and overcurrent protection. I obviously can’t test all of that in detail, but at least in normal use, I haven’t seen any scary behavior like swelling, sparks, or extreme temperatures.

My main durability concern is more about battery capacity over time. Third-party Li-ion cells tend to lose capacity faster than the original brand ones. In just a few weeks, that’s impossible to judge properly, but so far I haven’t noticed a sudden drop. They still hold a charge roughly like day one. The brand claims no memory effect and that you can charge whenever, which is standard marketing talk for lithium batteries. I’ve been topping them up without fully draining them, and they’ve handled it fine.

Overall, the durability feels good enough for the price, but I wouldn’t expect these to age as well as official Ring batteries over several years. If you want something to last a long time and you only have one or two cameras, you might want to mix one or two original batteries with these as backups. For me, as backup batteries and a cheap charger, the build quality is acceptable and doesn’t feel unsafe or ultra flimsy.

On performance, I tested one Jsoprtvr battery side by side with my original Ring battery in a Ring Video Doorbell 3, same settings, similar motion activity. With the official Ring battery, I usually get around 4–5 weeks before it drops under 20% and I swap it out. With this Jsoprtvr battery, I got around 3.5–4 weeks in the same conditions. So it’s a bit less, but not dramatically worse. We’re talking roughly 10–20% less runtime from what I’ve seen.

On the Stick Up Cam, where motion triggers are a bit more frequent, the gap was similar. The genuine battery lasted just over 3 weeks, and the Jsoprtvr battery gave me a bit under that, maybe 2.5–3 weeks. Again, not a disaster, but if you want to stretch charges as long as possible, you’ll notice you’re changing these slightly more often. For me, since I now have multiple batteries in rotation, it’s not a big deal.

In terms of stability, the cameras didn’t randomly reboot, and I never had a battery suddenly drop from 40% to 0%. The discharge curve seems fairly normal. The only odd thing is when you let a battery go completely flat: sometimes, putting it on the charger gives you nothing on the display for a minute. The brand actually mentions this in the description. In my case, if I just left it alone plugged in, the display eventually woke up and started charging. Slightly sketchy behavior, but once it kicked in, it charged to 100% and then worked normally in the camera.

Overall, I’d score the performance as decent but not perfect. You lose a bit of battery life compared to the original, and the deep-discharge behavior is a bit finicky. But for day-to-day use, if you charge before they’re totally dead, they perform well enough to keep your cameras online without constant micromanaging.

In the box, you get two 3.65V 6040mAh batteries and a dual charging station with a built-in USB cable. There’s also a short leaflet that explains the charging quirks, including that weird thing where if the battery is completely drained, you sometimes have to leave it on the charger for a minute before the display wakes up. It’s basic, but the instructions at least mention this behavior, so it’s not a total surprise.

The batteries are shaped like the standard Ring quick-release ones. They slide into my Ring Video Doorbell 3 and Stick Up Cam without forcing anything. The latch clicks in place. They’re not as nicely finished as the original Ring battery, but they’re close enough that you don’t feel like you’re jamming something random into your device. The charger has two slots and a small LED digital screen in the middle that shows a percentage for each slot. It’s simple: plug the USB into any 5V/2A adapter or USB port, pop the batteries in, and numbers start climbing.

The brand lists compatibility with a bunch of Ring devices: Video Doorbell 2/3/3+/4, Spotlight Cam, Stick Up Cam (2nd & 3rd gen), Door View Cam, and the Smart Lighting Solar Floodlight. I only tested on the doorbell and Stick Up Cam, but they both recognized the batteries right away. No error messages, no random restarts. The Ring app shows the battery level like normal, though the percentage is not always perfectly aligned with what the dock was showing.

Overall, the package is straightforward: two usable batteries and a dock that can charge both at once. Nothing extra, no wall adapter, no fancy packaging. It feels like a practical kit aimed at people who just want more uptime on their cameras without paying full price for official Ring gear.
