Users are complaining that their Google Nest Doorbells are dying far too quickly when outside in the cold, even when hooked up to wires. As it turns out, a\u00a0new support page<\/a>\u00a0from Google revealed that its Nest Doorbells (Battery)<\/a> and Nest Camera (Battery) can\u2019t charge in cold temperatures.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt temperatures below freezing, the lithium-ion battery in your Google Nest camera or doorbell won\u2019t be able to charge. Many devices, including popular models of doorbell cameras and cell phones, use lithium-ion batteries for their high power and long life, but these batteries are also affected by temperatures below freezing,\u201d reads Google\u2019s support page.<\/p>\n

This seems like a bit of an oversight by Google, as a large portion of the population lives in places that routinely see temperatures below 32 degrees. For a device that\u2019s designed to be left outside all year, not charging in the cold really limits its functionality.<\/p>\n

Important to note is that the doorbells won\u2019t receive power even when plugged in when in temperatures below freezing. That\u2019s because it\u2019s still not a wired device but rather a wireless device that needs to receive a trickle charge to work.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there are other smart doorbells<\/a> you can use outside of the Google Nest if you want one that\u2019ll work in the cold. For example, Ring doorbells have removable batteries, which allow you to bring the battery inside to charge while another battery powers the device.<\/p>\n

If you live somewhere warm, this shouldn\u2019t be an issue for you, but if you live in a cold climate, you should definitely avoid the\u00a0Nest Doorbells (Battery) and Nest Camera (Battery) unless you want to bring them inside to charge them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
