Is it possible to add power to existing wire-free Essential door bell and would that keep the battery charged?

Yes.   You need to supply low-voltage AC power using a transformer that is spec'd at  8-24 v, 10 VA or more.

The transformer can either be a plug-in module, or hardwired into your house wiring.
