will this work if your sensors have batteries null

No this will only work with 2-wire wired sensors

Hello Question, Good question! The Retrofit Alarm Kit can monitor wired contact sensor zones (contact sensors are usually used for doors and windows). If you have wired indoor and outdoor sirens, wired smoke or CO detectors, wired keypads or other security devices, they are not supported and should not be added to the Retrofit Alarm Kit. Installing the Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit is an advanced DIY project. We recommend that you consult a professional before installing the Retrofit Alarm Kit. Professional alarm installers and licensed electricians are experienced with wiring projects, are familiar with using tools such as multimeters to test electrical wiring, and can read and interpret electrical schematics. You should not attempt to install this yourself if you are inexperienced in any of these areas. Here is a helpful article to review before purchasing the kit: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035340111-Frequently-Asked-Questions-about-the-Retrofit-Alarm-Kit- For further questions or support, please visit: https://community.ring.com/.

You'd need to ask Ring support for your specific case, I had a similar question and in my case the answer was yes (but I had to keep the battery on). However they had to review the schematic for my old alarm system (it's usually printed on the box that holds the battery). They're pretty knowledgeable but keep in mind that they would recommend you a professional technician for any wiring changes, just for liability issues.

No, this Retrofit Kit is only to be used with wired window or door contacts that are not battery powered,
