Adding Battery Version To Mains Bell

[bainbrig]

We've got a doorbell which rings on two mains-operated units. Any (easy) way of adding a BATTERY operated repeater bell?

Thanks.

I'm assuming that it's a wireless doorbell which activates two separate units that are each plugged in to a mains socket. Could you buy a "bell" unit from the same manufacturer (and the same range) that's battery-operated?
I suggest this because I have a wireless doorbell (branded "1 by one") which operates both a mains unit and a battery-run unit...the latter is particularly useful (being portable) as it goes in the rear garden and detached garage.

Just that, ginge. I'll see if I get any sense out of the supplier (ebay guy). Ta

Wireless doorbells come with their own bell-push. Some, but not all, of them, can have their bell-push connected to the chime unit of a normal mains-operated bell. We have a mains system and I sit the wireless bell-push on top of the chime unit, connected such that the wireless is activated when the mains-unit chimes.
The drawback, for my system anyway, is that in case of power failure or tuning-off the supply to the mains-operated bell, the wireless chimes continuously.
