average power consumption of Google Nest Doorbell (battery)

Can someone tell what is the (average) power consumption of the doorbell when in standby (when doing nothing, no video recording, no bells ringing, .. ) . 

I wonder, because I have a transformer, supplying only 19 mA (AC) to the doorbell, that should be enough to continuously keep the battery full, or do I need another transformer ?

The conditions are good, about 15 - 25 degrees Celsius , only a few people passing by every day.

I'm not an electrician, and don't know how to interpret what "19 mA" means, but these are Google Nest's transformer requirements:

I don't know the battery doorbell's power consumption when it's in "Idle" mode.

Thanks, 

that's is interesting information, but the power-supply they mention deals with peak-powers I guess, 

Even 10 watt (VA) average consumption would make the doorbell way too hot to handle,

also the 6000 mA battery would last only a few hours, so the average consumption has to be much less then the values stated in their requirement list. 

Thanks anyway ....
