My 50 year old “dumb” doorbell doesn’t need to be recharged. More proof that “smart” technology isn’t actually smarter and isn’t actually making our lives easier.
My Ring doorbell like this does connect to my existing power supply for a ‘dumb’ doorbell. This version shown is a wireless model aimed more at apartments which don’t have existing wiring or for a tenant who wants a removable version to take when they move.
I am not not associated with Ring, just a customer.

If they had a 50 year old doorbell they could replace it with a better version of the pictured one that is powered by the old doorbell circuit.

A doorbell like this requires recharging because it is wireless.
Meaning you don’t need to drill holes, just connect it to your WiFi.
Maybe screw the holder into something (or just command strip it to your door).
It removes to recharge.
Other smart door bells connect to existing power, and don’t need recharging.
