Hi, Im looking at upgrading a very old Friendland doorbell system that still works. It’s based on an external doorbell with 2 wires, which is wired back to a door chime powered by 4 D-Cell Batteries and no transformer. Size wise, I’m looking at the smallest possible compatible ring unit that can be used with a plug in adapter and chime. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’ve attached some pics below to assist. https://imageshack.com/i/po0zKSvJj https://imageshack.com/i/poRaYecoj Thanks

Hi @Rambler. Hardwiring a Ring Doorbell requires a doorbell circuit with a compatible transformer. A chime powered by batteries would not provide enough power on the circuit for the Doorbell as well. There are battery powered Ring Doorbells, which would be powered off a rechargeable battery and would not require a doorbell circuit. To hear an audible alert in your home, you can use a Ring Chime or a compatible Alexa enabled device.
