As an essential electronic product, smart locks heavily rely on power support, and batteries are their primary source of energy. It’s crucial to prioritize safety and quality in selecting the right batteries, as inferior ones can lead to bulging, leakage, and ultimately damage the lock, shortening its lifespan.

So, how should you choose the ideal battery for your smart door lock?

Firstly, identify the type and specifications of the battery. Most kadonio smart digital locks use 5th/7th alkaline dry batteries. However, the 8th series Face Recognition smart locks, equipped with functions such as a peephole, doorbell, and door lock, generate higher power consumption. To meet this demand, they require high-capacity lithium batteries, such as the 4200mAh lithium battery. Not only do these batteries offer superior safety features, but they also support rechargeable cycles, promoting environmental sustainability.

Secondly, opt for batteries from reputable brands. With continuous upgrades and advancements in smart lock technology, batteries must meet higher safety and capacity requirements. Trustworthy battery brands offer reliability in terms of quality, safety, and endurance.

Lastly, purchase batteries from authorized and reliable sources. While batteries are widely available in the market, it is best to choose from official flagship stores or highly reputable outlets to avoid purchasing low-quality batteries.

It’s essential to note that it’s not recommended to mix batteries of different brands or specifications.

On one hand, using batteries from different brands or specifications may result in inaccurate battery level readings, displaying sufficient power when the battery is running low. This inconsistency can impact the overall smart lock user experience. On the other hand, mixing batteries with varying discharge capabilities could cause the smart lock to malfunction.

Multiple safeguards for efficient power usage

kadonio smart locks prioritize user experience and are designed with various unlocking methods and robust security features. In terms of power consumption, kadonio smart locks using eight batteries at a frequency of ten uses per day can last for approximately ten months (actual endurance depends on internet connectivity and other functions). This design prevents frequent battery replacements and reduces energy wastage.

As smart lock technology evolves and integrates video monitoring, networking, and fully automated features, the demand for battery endurance and safety increases. To ensure optimal performance, kadonio’s face recognition smart lock utilizes a rechargeable 4200mAh high-capacity lithium battery. Under full charge and continuous Wi-Fi connection, with daily usage of five minutes of video calls and ten door openings/closings, the video feature can last for about two to three months.

Moreover, in low battery situations (7.4V), the face recognition smart lock automatically activates an energy-saving mode, disabling the video function while allowing regular door operations for about one month.
