How It Works: Hardwired Battery Doorbell Charging

**Question:** Should my Video Doorbell, Video Doorbell (2020 Release), Video Doorbell 2, Video Doorbell 3, Video Doorbell 3 Plus, or Video Doorbell 4 battery be draining if it is hardwired? **Answer:** Yes, hardwiring your battery Video Doorbell is primarily to connect the Video Doorbell to your existing doorbell chime kit. An included benefit is a trickle charge for your Video Doorbell’s battery, which provides a small consistent charge to your battery. This trickle charge may not be enough to charge the battery fully but will apply a slow charge to extend battery life.
