Batteries got good enough and electronics efficient enough that for a doorbell it makes more sense to use a battery than to run a dedicated 12v wire.
My dumb doorbell has a little coin battery.
My doorbell generates the necessary electricity when someone pushes the button.
Interesting. What kind is that?
I got this doorbell and it works great
I didn't know they made anything like this! That's ingenious. I might get one.

I couldn't be bothered to regulary take down my doorbell to charge it. I'd probably tell people to just text me, when they're at the door.
I have one, it's once every 3 months. Mostly it's about being notified of packages for me, and those guys will absolutely not message me.
