The
Schlage® keypad deadbolt requires a new 9-volt alkaline battery, installed on the interior side of the lock.
If you have a physical key that came with the lock, simply insert it into the keyhole and turn. This should release the latch and allow you to open the door. Another way to open a Schlage lock with a dead battery is by using a paperclip or similar object.
Battery life
Schlage smart locks are powered by 4 double A batteries that only need to be changed once a year.
Resolution: Battery Jump Procedure: The emergency battery jump start can be used to unlock the door if the batteries are dead. WARNING: The lock will remain unlocked until you change the battery and relock the door.
9V battery backup
The Schlage Touch is powered by a 9V battery and because it is a standard electronic lock, the battery life will last two years with a low-battery warning that will alert you long before the battery is completely drained.
It provides room for four AA batteries, which Schlage says can last up to six months when the lock is used on Wi-Fi or up to a year if you use it with Thread.

However, misaligned doors where the lock faces resistance during lock/unlocking will shorten the battery life since the motor uses more power to exercise the latch. In addition, properly “handing” or calibrating the lock as outlined in the installation guide will maximize the battery life.
Two AA cells also cost less than a 9V battery. 1 The additional energy in the AA cells provides longer operating life when compared to a 9V battery based solution.
