Connect Ring 3 to battery operated chime bell

Our current door bell is 6 v dc battery operated. Can I connect the doorbell wires to the two terminals on the back of the ring 3 so the current chime works as well as the ring chime. If not, why? Thanks, Greg

    Good question @Harleygreg! DC power is not supported via the terminals/ leads of our Video Doorbells. For this reason, our Video Doorbells require 8 to 24 VAC to power, or accept a charge, or operate an existing chime kit. If you need a new chime kit, check out our [chime compatibility list](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044683012-Ring-Video-Doorbell-3-Chime-Kit-Compatibility-List). We even have Ring Chime devices on our [accessories page at Ring.com](https://store.ring.com/collections/accessories?). I hope this helps! :)
