About this replacement
Ring Stick Up Cam — 3.8V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (B15169)
This 3.8V 5500mAh Li-Polymer cell replaces the OEM battery in the Ring Stick Up Cam and Outdoor Security Cam. It fits the B15169 battery slot directly. Voltage and capacity match the original spec, so the camera's power management system handles charging and discharge the same way it did from the factory.
- Stick Up Cam and Outdoor Security Cam compatibility: Both models share the same removable battery tray, connector pin layout, and 3.8V power rail. The BMS in each camera reads the same charge thresholds, so one cell covers both platforms without any wiring change.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through the Ring charging dock and confirmed the BMS accepted the charge handshake cleanly. Voltage under motion-event load — when the IR LEDs, processor, and WiFi radio draw simultaneously — stayed stable without triggering a low-voltage cutoff.
- Post-install power cycle via app: After fitting the new battery, trigger a manual restart through the Ring app device settings. The firmware needs to re-register the cell before motion events log correctly to cloud storage — skipping this step can leave recording appearing active while clips are silently dropped.
Camera going offline in the Ring app after battery swap
Swapping the battery interrupts power, which ends the camera's active session with Ring's servers. The app often holds a stale connection state and shows the device as offline even after the new battery is seated. A forced restart through the app — Device Settings → Remove and Re-add, or a manual press of the setup button on the camera — re-establishes the session token. Once the camera reconnects, confirm it shows a live feed before relying on motion alerts.
App reporting 0% or incorrect charge percentage after fitting a new cell
The Ring Stick Up Cam uses a voltage-threshold indicator, not a fuel gauge IC. When a new cell is installed at a voltage that doesn't match the camera's stored reference point, the percentage display can read 0% or stall at a low figure. Running one complete charge cycle through the Ring charging dock resets the threshold baseline. After a full charge, the percentage should read correctly at 100% and track discharge accurately from that point forward.
