Wireless Doorbell battery issues

[steve_rainbird]

My doorbell has suddenly started using battery very fast.

I charge it yesterday.

Today Its down to 19%.

Any ideas why this might be?

If your temperatures are getting down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), the long thread below has many customers reporting their battery doorbells don't stay charged in cooler weather that's well within operating temperatures.

Thanks,

IIt did get down to -2c last night so it may be that.  I also have a new broadband router so will try a few things 1st before I blame the weather.  Looks like that might be the issue though.

It is definitely temperature related.  After recharging tye temperature was about 0c and it lost 23% overnight.  Since then (3 days) it has only lost an further 4%.
