The batteries in Google’s Nest Cam and Doorbell won’t charge in freezing weather, useless in the cold.

After a lot of reports, Google has confirmed that their nest doorbell, which is battery powered, won’t charge when they are subjected to extreme cold temperatures below freezing. Google on a blog post said that the Lithium-ion battery in the nest doorbell battery won’t be able to charge when they are subjected to extremely cold temperatures.

According to Google, the Nest Doorbell and the Camera can operate at temperatures as low as -4 F (Considering the devices have power left in them) But that being said, these battery cells in these devices won’t charge at temperatures below the freezing mark, Google also said that the batteries can drain faster if they are subjected to extremely cold weather, the battery life can also get cut to half of the devices are near their operating limit.

Google also recommends that you bring your nest doorbell and your camera indoors in situations with extremely cold weather, and the warmer the better it gets, the faster it will charge. According to them, you can also look into the home app to know if you should take your devices inside.

Another thing that you should know is those freezing temperatures also impact your nest devices. If they are wired to your home’s electrical system, it’s because the nest doorbell still draws on its battery for power even when it has an electrical connection. At temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, The battery charging from the electrical connection won’t help the battery, and if it dies you will have to bring the device inside to charge it again. (Please note that this is the case and only extreme cold temperatures)
