Modern digital lock have been engineered to require only a very minimal amount of battery power per use, so battery failures will be very few. But like any other battery-powered device, there will eventually come a time when the battery’s power will begin to diminish. The following notes will help you avoid sudden battery drain and the solution to solve when the lock run out of batteries:

 
Pay attention to low battery warning signal:
  • Most digital locks also come equipped with a low battery indicator, which will alert you well in advance when the battery is getting low. In addition, some locks will begin to show other signs of a low battery, such as slower response time, or requiring repeated attempts to open the lock. The most common type of low battery indicator is a colored light, but some locks also include an audio signal alert. 
  • Some digital locks that offer software-based feature management will alert you at your mobile app whenever your battery life is low. For example, VICKINI's digital locks feature audio, visual and mobile-based low battery status indicators.

What to do if your digital lock battery dies? 

  • Most digital locks have a backup key for emergency opening. The position of the keyhole is different in each door lock. But normally it is located at the bottom of the lock. Insert the key in the hole, turn it, open the door and replace the battery. 
  • Another solution is using external batteries. Usually, the digital lock will have two electrodes protruding at the bottom of the lock or keyhole. You just touch the two poles of the battery to the two electrodes available on the lock. Keep them at the same time that your key is powered. Now you can open the door with a fingerprint, enter the house and replace the battery. But remember to replace all batteries of the lock at the same time, to avoid sudden battery drain from happening.
  • It is best to go ahead and replace your battery when you first start getting these low battery alerts. VICKINI's digital door locks are equipped an excellent low battery indicator with colored light and audio in the lock. Using VICKINI’s electronic locks will help you feel more secure even if you are busy and ignore the warning signal. Because even if the low battery warning signal appears, you can still unlock about 200 times before the lock is completely died.
