Hi neighbors! The original Spotlight Cam Battery, which has since been discontinued, cannot be converted into a Spotlight Cam Wired. This device has a barrel plug, not a USB-C plug. It can be connected to a Ring Solar Panel using the USB-C to barrel plug adapter to extend the amount of time between charges. The Spotlight Cam Plus and Pro are equipped with a USB-C plug and Dual Power Mode, allowing you to use both a battery and the Indoor/Outdoor Power Adapter. I hope this helps clarify things.

It looks like no one ever responded to your question. I have the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

Hi, I found this on Amazon. Is this real? While some people say that it does not work, the majority of the people say that it works. [Power Adapter for Ring Spotlight Cam Battery, with 25Ft/7.5m Weatherproof Outdoor Cable to Continuously Charge Your Home Security Camera, No Need to Change The Batteries(White)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G85HWD9/ref=twister_B07NWH7YCJ?_encoding=UTF8&th=1)

These posts have been here a few years but this issue (converting spotlight plus battery to wired) can be confusing  There is an answer on this forum from a mod that says 'no, you cannot convert battery to wired however you can add a solar panel' and this really confuses the issues. It appears that when you separate the camera from the sliding mount, there magically appears a usb-c plug on the back of the camera housing. This plug is accessible by removing the rubber "button" on the slide mount itself. Thus, the place where the solar panel ,(or a usb-c charging cable) can plug in through the slide mount directly into the camera housing  So, apparently, the flat usb-c cable sold on Amazon can plug directly into the back of the camera to supply wired power and thus no more battery removal/charges needed. Disclaimer--Be aware I am not a Ring engineer nor do I know how this method will affect battery life or functioning compatibility so use this method at your own risk. 😘

I’ve converted a battery Ring Spotlight Camera Battery to wired. There is a waterproof plug on the back that can be removed to find an “C” usb. Adding the wired 120v plug makes it WIRED. I left the two batteries in the unit in case of a power outage. Been mounted under my eave for over 2.5 years. No problems whatsoever.
