The top smart/electronic locks all have a few similar things in common. That also goes when it comes to the durability of the battery on these devices. That being said, we will be discussing a few tips on how to better optimise or improve the battery life of your electronic locks.

An improperly installed lock might force the motor to work twice as hard than normal. This could lead to reduced battery life. Make sure you are using the correct pieces and that latches are properly seated. You may wish to review the proper way of installation through the following article here.
Avoid and Reduce Deadbolt Friction
Make sure that your deadbolt and the locker frame are properly aligned with no friction during deadbolt movement. Resistance to the movement of the deadbolt will force the motor to work harder and reduce the life of the battery.
Adjust Your Scheduled Operation
If you have scheduled your lock to open or lock on specific date and time, you may adjust it so that less operation will be done on the lock. For example, if you have set it to open and lock every hour simply readjust the time using the paired app. This will greatly improve the operational capacity of your electronic lock’s battery significantly.
Get Better WiFi Signal
A poor signal from your WiFi access point can make the chip in the lock to work harder to capture or maintain a connection. This could lead to reduced battery life. If possible try to bring your WiFi router close to the locker.
