Ring Plug-In Adapter 2nd Gen for Battery Doorbells

The Ring Plug-In Adapter (2nd generation) powers compatible Ring battery doorbells continuously by charging the internal Quick Release Battery Pack from a standard indoor outlet.

If you want to keep your Ring doorbell charged without hardwiring or removing batteries to recharge, this compact adapter gives you a simple plug-and-play option. It delivers a steady 24V DC output through a 10-foot cable so you can position the adapter near an indoor outlet while the doorbell remains mounted. Built-in short-circuit protection and broad device compatibility make installation quick and safe for many Ring Video and Battery Doorbell models.

How does this adapter keep my doorbell powered all the time?

The adapter continuously supplies power to the doorbell’s rechargeable Quick Release Battery Pack while the battery remains inside the unit. That means the doorbell can operate normally and recharge its internal battery automatically, eliminating frequent removals for manual charging. It’s intended for indoor outlets only and avoids any hardwired doorbell installation.

• Outputs 24V DC at 0.5A (12.0W) to maintain battery charge.
• Connects via the doorbell’s Quick Release Battery Pack—no battery removal needed.
• 10-foot cable with clips for flexible routing and tidy installation.
• Includes short-circuit protection for safer continuous use.

Which Ring doorbell models work with this plug-in adapter?

The 2nd generation adapter supports a wide range of Ring Video and Battery Doorbell models, including older and recent releases that accept the Quick Release Battery Pack. It is not compatible with the Peephole Cam or the Video Doorbell Elite, so check your model if you’re unsure. This makes it a convenient upgrade for many households that lack existing doorbell wiring.

What should I expect during installation and daily use?

Installation is designed to be fast and tool-light: plug the adapter into a household outlet, attach the cable to the doorbell battery connection, and tuck the 10-foot cord with the included clips. Once connected, the doorbell continues to function normally while the adapter maintains charge. Because it’s for indoor outlets, you may need to route the cable through a window or door frame if your outlet is inside the home.

• 10-foot cable and clips let you route discreetly to an indoor outlet.
• Compact dimensions: 2.8in x 2.2in x 1.5in for small footprint.

Is this adapter safe and energy efficient for long-term use?

The adapter includes built-in short-circuit protection and operates across a wide input range (100–240V AC), which supports safe, consistent charging in most household electrical systems. Its modest 12W output is optimized to keep the internal battery topped up without overdriving it. As with any continuous-power device, place it in a ventilated area and follow local electrical guidelines.

• Built-in short-circuit protection for added safety.
• Wide input range (100–240V AC, 50/60Hz) for global compatibility.
• Low 12.0W output suited to maintaining battery charge.
• Small form factor reduces heat buildup during normal use.
