Oura finally confirms Ring 4 has a battery problem, and the fallout is staggering
Oura put a ring on it, then got a rather large bill.
Oura has confirmed issues plaguing the battery life of certain Ring 4 devices, contributing to a $84.4 million spike in warranty costs for the fiscal year 2025. The company has replaced affected devices at no cost to owners, even extending replacements beyond the standard one-year warranty period. While Oura has not disclosed the specific batches impacted, it is advised that users experiencing rapid battery depletion contact customer support.
Online reports have long flagged battery concerns with the Oura Ring 4, but the company's disclosure to the SEC adds concrete evidence of a problem affecting at least some units. The increase in warranty expenses stems directly from these battery performance issues, as reported by Gadgets & Wearables.
