The Ring Battery Doorbell 2K costs $39.99 on Ring’s own store and at Amazon in early November 2026, against a regular price of $99.99. 9to5Toys reported the Amazon price on November 2, 2026, calling it 60% off, and Popular Science checked it again on November 5, 2026.
This is the 2026 model with a built-in battery, so it does not need existing doorbell wiring. It records Retinal 2K video with up to 6x zoom and has two-way talk, and Yahoo Shopping also listed it among its trending early Black Friday deals at $40, down from $100.
How much does the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K cost?
The doorbell is $39.99 at the time of writing, and none of the pages states an end date, so the price can change at any time. Here is what the sources list:
- Ring Battery Doorbell 2K: $39.99 on Ring’s page, down from $99.99
- Amazon: $39.99 shipped, according to 9to5Toys, which says that is $5 less than last month’s deal and the lowest price it has tracked at Amazon
- Prime pricing: Popular Science describes the $39.99 price as being for Prime members, and says it matches the lowest price it has tracked
- Doorbell with a Chime: $49.99 in Popular Science’s list, also matching its lowest tracked price, and the Chime plugs into an indoor outlet
- Professional installation: starts at $129.00 on Ring’s page, billed separately
- Warranty: one year limited
9to5Toys adds that the wired Ring Doorbell 2K is still at full price, and that the higher-end Battery Doorbell 4K Pro is $200 against a regular $250.
What does the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K do?
Ring’s product page lists these specifications:
- Video: Retinal 2K at 1920x1920 pixels, with up to 6x Enhanced Zoom
- Field of view: 173° diagonal, 140° horizontal and 140° vertical, which Ring calls head-to-toe coverage
- Night vision: infrared, with illumination up to 6 m
- Power: a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can also be trickle-charged through existing doorbell wiring rated 8 to 24 VAC, or with Ring solar accessories
- Connection: at least 10 Mbps upload speed recommended
- Size: 2.11 x 5.78 x 1.41 in, weather resistant and rated for -5°F to 120°F
- Colors: Speckled Gray, Matte Mocha and Speckled White
- Setup: about 10 minutes for a DIY install
Ring also lists live view, two-way talk and motion detection with customizable zones. Popular Science notes that you charge it over USB-C after removing it from the wall with the included tool, and that the cable is not included.
What does the doorbell cost beyond the price tag?
Video history is the catch. Ring’s page says Ring Protect plans are required for features such as video history, Video Descriptions, Familiar Faces, Single Event Alerts and Package Alerts, and it lists no plan prices. Popular Science says rewatching saved clips requires a Ring Protect subscription sold separately.
Without a plan you still get live view, two-way talk and motion alerts, but you cannot look back at what happened while you were out. If clip history matters, add the plan cost to the $39.99.
Why is this doorbell trending?
The discount is large, it is on a current model, and it lands as early Black Friday shopping starts. Black Friday falls on Friday, Nov. 27 this year, according to Yahoo Shopping, and the doorbell appeared on several early deal lists in the first week of November. Popular Science listed it among eight Ring models under $100.
Who it suits
Renters and first-time buyers. The built-in battery means there is no wiring job, and Ring says a DIY install takes about 10 minutes.
Homes with an existing doorbell transformer. You can trickle-charge the battery through the wiring instead of removing the doorbell to charge it.
Shoppers who want clip history. This doorbell works best with a Ring Protect plan, so budget for it.
Who should wait or look higher up the range. Anyone who wants the 4K Pro, or a model with a removable quick-release battery pack such as the Battery Doorbell 2K Plus, which Ring lists at $179.99, will pay more. No source promises a lower price before Black Friday, so waiting for this one is a gamble.
What is still unknown?
No page gives the end date of the $39.99 price or the monthly cost of Ring Protect plans. Ring’s product page lists 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only for this model, while its support page mentions both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, so check Ring’s current specification list before you rely on a particular band. The sources cover prices in US dollars only.
What to do next
Open Ring’s product page and the Amazon listing to check today’s price, and compare the Chime bundle if your home has no indoor chime. Then look at the Ring Protect plan options in the Ring app before you decide how much the doorbell will really cost you over a year.
