Yes you just connect the wires to the 2 back screws in the back and you get 100% power all the time. No charging necessary.

Contact ring directly and they will guide you through what to do or what to have an electrician do, be careful when connecting any new hardwired device. Make sure the breaker is off for the doorbell transformer, which is a box usually located near your breaker panel or circuit box. If you are unsure at all or have any concerns, it is best to have an electrician install. Your battery should not have to be charged so often, so I would contact Ring directly regarding your product.

Hello,

If you've hardwired your battery-operated Ring Video doorbell, you may wonder why your battery may occasionally need to be recharged. Unlike a purely hardwired Ring doorbell such as the Ring Doorbell Pro, a battery-operated doorbell does not use the electricity generated by the hardwired to power its regular operations. Instead, it uses the provided rechargeable battery to do all of its regular operations like ring, detect motion, and generate a Live View. The charge from the hardwiring supplies a trickle-charge to the battery. As a result, depending on what functions the doorbell is performing, the battery may drain faster than the hardwiring charge can keep up with. Therefore, there’s a need to occasionally recharge your battery.
