Get yourself some decent rechargeable batteries. Eneloops are good.
But yeah, 2 days seems pretty bad. My eufy doorbell lasts months

We've got a Blink, had it over 3 months and haven't changed the batteries yet.
Do you use motion detection? I've switched that off (pointless as we're on a main road) so it's only triggered by pressing the doorbell - maybe that affects battery usage?

New blink doorbell user here and first impressions are not great. Batteries need replacing after being on the door for two days!
Replaced batteries today and had proper look at the settings to make sure it's not set to record excessively long clips. Seems it's set for 10 second clips, but no matter what I do it records for 30.
Even resorted to deleting the sync 2 and camera, but it still won't play ball. Not sure I can afford new batteries every couple of days!
