With no need for hardwiring, when the Ring device runs low, all you have to do is replace it with a Quick Release Battery for nonstop power lasting months.
It comes with a handy USB charger, so it is literally as easy to juice up as charging your iPhone.
However, at £24.99 from Ring's official website, the added convenience comes at a cost.
But have no fear, a cheeky code can slash over £13 off the price tag.
If you use code 'LOOPY20' in an eBay deal, you can nab yours for £11.96- but get on it quick because the deal expires at midnight.
This can drastically help with home security, as usually, when you switch the battery on your Ring doorbell, you lose visibility for a few hours.
One reviewer on Hot Deals raved about the deal: 'I got one the last time it was on offer, perfect to have a spare charger to swap out.'
Another said: 'There is no reason you would return this; they're great.'
Another branded the product: ' A game changer for home security, the build quality is impressive and it withstands extreme rain, snow and heat.
'With a fully charged battery, my Ring devices are always ready to capture and record any suspicious activity, providing peace of mind and enhanced security.'
Another happy customer sang the product's praises: 'The quick release feature, which makes swapping it out incredibly easy, I highly recommend.'

One anxious mother of two said: 'It's transformed my life, for the first time I feel safe consistently and can sleep at night knowing that I can always check who's at the door.
'We had a break-in last year, and those few hours when we swapped the battery gave me the quivers.'
Another option is the Ring Solar Charger, which is unlikely to run out of gas in summer months.

Phone app loved by 30 MILLION users shutting down in weeks as hit download disappears from stores and refunds promised
Every account is due to be deleted at a later date – with all user data vanishing completely VANISHING APP-T Phone app loved by 30 MILLION users shutting down in weeks as hit download disappears from stores and refunds promised Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR phone app with more than 30 million users is shutting down forever in weeks. The app was used "billions" of times, but will go offline for good in early July. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Pocket is closing down forever in a matter of weeks Credit: Mozilla / Pocket Pocket is a beloved app that let users save content to read later. It's currently owned by Mozilla, which is the tech giant behind the Firefox web browser (a rival to Microsoft Edge, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome). Mozilla says it wants to focus on Firefox instead, and has decided to shut down Pocket permanently as a result. "We've made the difficult decision to shut down Pocket on July 8, 2025," the Pocket team said in a statement. "Thank you for being part of our journey over the years. "We're proud of the impact Pocket has had for our users and communities." Pocket first launched back in mid-2007 as a browser extension for Mozilla Firefox. It was originally called Read It Later, and quickly grew to have millions of users. The service rebranded to Pocket in 2012, and its app ended up being used by tens of millions of people around the world. In early 2017, Pocket revealed that it had been acquired by Mozilla. iPhone 16e review – I've secretly tested Apple's cheapest mobile and I love the new button but that's not the best bit Then just a few weeks ago, Mozilla confirmed that Pocket would shut down in July – with user data and accounts due for deletion in October. "As users' everyday needs evolve alongside the web itself, it's imperative we focus our efforts on Firefox," Mozilla said. "And building new solutions that give you real choice, control, and peace of mind online. "With that in mind, we've made the difficult decision to phase out two products. 5 The Mozilla-owned app will close down so the tech giant can focus on its Firefox web browser Credit: Mozilla / Pocket "Pocket, our read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, our browser extension that analyses the authenticity of online product reviews." SHUT DOWN EXPLAINED The app itself (and browser extensions) will shut down totally on July 8, 2025. Your data will be retained until October 8 – so that gives you a chance to export your "saves". But after that date, all of the data will vanish completely. 5 Pocket is closing down on all devices – with user data due to be deleted too Credit: Mozilla / Pocket That includes your account, which will be automatically deleted on October 8. Some Pocket users will also be owed refunds. This is the case if you have a Pocket Premium account that you've paid for on an annual basis. So the refund will be based on the time that was left on your subscription after the shut down (July 8). Pocket refunds – how it works Here's the official guidance from Pocket... For monthly subscribers: We will begin disabling automatic renewal of monthly subscriptions immediately. You can continue to enjoy the benefits of Pocket Premium until the end of the monthly subscription period. You will not be charged again, so no refund will be necessary. No action is required from you. For annual subscribers: On July 8, 2025, Annual subscriptions will be cancelled and Annual users will receive a prorated refund automatically to the original payment method. No action is needed from you. Picture Credit: Pocket 5 Your Pocket app on the iPhone will soon break – but you'll still need to delete it yourself Credit: Apple You should get this back automatically to the payment method that you originally used to pay for Pocket Premium. The Pocket app has already vanished from app stores. But it can be reinstalled if you already had it but deleted it, right up until October 8, 2025. If you've stilled got the app, you'll need to delete it yourself. It won't vanish on its own – but it will stop working.

Popular Freeview box receives upgrade that fixes bug wreaking havoc on Netflix, recordings and more
It comes after numerous households were hit by a widespread disruption this week WATCH OUT Popular Freeview box receives upgrade that fixes bug wreaking havoc on Netflix, recordings and more – check yours now Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR Freeview box has received a key upgrade which looks set to fix a bug affecting a slew of features. Manhattan released the software update for its T4-R and T4 Freeview boxes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A new software update looks set to remove bugs from Manhattan's T4-R and T4 Freeview boxes Credit: Amazon The latest version - 2.06 - will finally fix a long-standing standby mode issue that has affected a number of users. The update, which began rolling out this week, addresses numerous stability issues while fixing compatibility problems with popular streaming apps and improving recording reliability on the T4-R. If you've been using Energy Saver mode as a workaround to avoid the standby problems, you can now safely switch back to Sleep or Smart standby modes without fear of your box becoming unresponsive. The upgrade comes after households were warned of widespread Freeview disruption this week that could make their TVs stop working properly. Viewers may switch on their telly to find a black, pixelated or flickering screen as a result of planned engineering works. Some 87 areas are expected to be affected, according to Freeview. Freeview has urged households that the disruption is only temporary and to not retune their TV. "If you are affected by engineering work, please don't try and retune your TV - reception will be restored as soon as the engineering work is completed," the company said. "Occasionally, routine engineering work is required on transmitters in order to improve terrestrial TV services. "While every effort is made to minimise the impact on viewers, this can cause temporary disruption to reception." Clash of Clans coming to Netflix in new animated TV series If you don't want to miss your favourite TV shows while the work is taking place, Freeview has suggested households check out its online TV guide. The Freeview Channel Checker tells viewers what changes are taking place that may affect their service and viewing. To use it, simply enter your postcode to see what will be affected. If you have a hybrid or smart TV, you can watch uninterrupted TV during the engineering works via the Freeview app or website. While Freeview typically requires an aerial, you can access many Freeview channels and on-demand content through streaming apps like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and All 4. If you're not sure what transmitter you're predicted to get your signal from, put your postcode into Freeview's Detailed Transmitter Information tool to check.

Can Tim Cook stop Apple going the same way as Nokia?
A YEAR AGO, when Apple used a jamboree at its home in Silicon Valley to unveil its artificial-intelligence (AI) strategy, grandly known as Apple Intelligence, it was a banner occasion. The following day the firm's value soared by more than $200bn—one of the biggest single-day leaps of any company in American history. The excitement was fuelled by hopes that generative AI would enable Apple to transform the iPhone into a digital assistant—in effect, Siri with a brain—helping to resuscitate flagging phone sales. Twelve months later, that excitement has turned into almost existential dread.
