A:Answer Hello Linda,
The Ring Video Doorbell Wired is a hardwired only doorbell, therefore, it does not have the option to power it via a battery. The Ring Doorbell Wired must be hardwired to a transformer with 10-24 VAC, 20-40VA max, and 50/60Hz. This doorbell can also be powered by the Ring Plug-in Adapter.
If you prefer a doorbell that has a removable and rechargeable battery pack, we'd like to suggest our Ring Video Doorbell 3. Please visit the following link to learn more about Video Doorbell 3: https://ring.com/products/video-doorbell-3
