"Avoid using lithium or rechargeable batteries" Our apps such as the Schlage Home App, Schlage Abode App, and Schlage Breeze App will all receive notifications from your smart lock when the batteries are getting low.
Our smart door locks are designed to provide long-lasting battery life for your convenience. The battery type depends on the specific lock model you choose. Some locks are powered by AA batteries, some by AAA batteries, and others have rechargeable batteries.
Due to difference in battery chemistry/voltages and the lock chip cut voltages, rechargeable batteries are not recommended to use with locks.
We recommend using a premium alkaline battery for all Schlage digital locks. Lithium, or rechargeable technologies may cause undesirable operation. Our smart and electronic locks are equipped with low battery warnings.

Types of Batteries Used in Digital Door Locks
The most common batteries used are AA, AAA, and lithium-ion batteries. AA and AAA batteries are widely available and are known for their reliability in low-drain devices, which makes them a standard choice for many digital door locks.
Check the bottom of the keypad or the lock itself for a small jumper, usually hidden under a plastic cover, where you can connect a 9-volt battery. Use Physical Key: If your Schlage electronic lock has a key override, use the physical key to unlock the door.
How long do batteries last in Schlage locks? The battery life of Schlage locks can vary depending on factors such as usage frequency, the specific lock model, and the type of batteries used. Generally, Schlage locks are designed to have a battery life ranging from 6 months to 1 year.
What kind of batteries does a keypad door lock take? Keypad door locks typically use AA or AAA alkaline batteries, though some models may require 9V or CR123A lithium batteries.
The recommended batteries to use in your Door Lock are AA alkaline, non-rechargeable batteries. Make sure there are no lithium NiCad batteries in use. If you're replacing the battery because of a low battery warning, press and hold the Program button for five seconds, then press and hold button A for five seconds.
Rechargeable batteries cannot be used in all applications. Some equipment I use must have the full 1.5v or more from each cell used (6 cells). If not, the drop in voltage will cause my equipment to not function properly.
Rechargeable batteries don't usually put out 1.5V, they put out 1.2V, and the lock will not work reliably. Failed electronic locks are one of the top reasons I get called for lockouts. Most devices are still designed for alkaline batteries.
With that in mind, most smart locks last for about 6 to 12 months on a single set of fresh batteries or a fresh charge. Network-connected and Wi-Fi locks can be an exception to this rule, though, often lasting a few months at a time before requiring a change of batteries.
No, that isn't recommended either. Typically, rechargeable batteries comprise lithium or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) 2and have a specific voltage/capacity rating. On the other hand, non-rechargeable regular batteries are usually alkaline batteries while also having different voltage/capacity characteristics.
With the popularity of this newest addition to the Schlage electronic and smart lock portfolio, we have decided to discontinue the Schlage Sense™ Smart Deadbolt that was launched in 2016.
Schlage locks tend to be more expensive than Kwikset due to its superior security features, durable materials, tight tolerances, great security pins, and robust deadbolt screws. The Kwikset deadbolt is good quality, but the quality of Schlage housing and door locks justifies the higher cost.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this warranty, Schlage extends a lifetime limited mechanical and finish warranty and a one-year limited electronics warranty to the original consumer user (“Original User”) of our Schlage brand product (“Product”) against defects in material and workmanship, as long as the ...
When a smart lock's battery dies, several consequences may occur. These may include the inability to unlock the door, loss of entry methods, inactive automatic features, and some security concerns.
you can remove it from the system, take out the batteries and put in fresh ones. right above the batteries is a button, hold it for 20 seconds to reset your lock then finally go back through your keypad (not the pinpad that pairs to the lock) and readd it back.
A rechargeable battery, storage battery, or secondary cell (formally a type of energy accumulator), is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.
Spare larger lithium-ion batteries and power banks (101-160 Wh) are forbidden in checked baggage.
