 Can I use rechargeable batteries for my smart lock?

Using rechargeable batteries will not harm your smart lock, but it is not recommended for the following reasons. 

The lock software and app are optimized for alkaline batteries, which have a distinct discharge curve. This ensures accurate battery percentage readings and timely low-battery notifications.

Rechargeable batteries, on the other hand, have a flatter discharge curve, meaning the displayed battery percentage may not be accurate. As a result, you might not receive correct low-battery warnings when the batteries are nearly depleted. For the best experience, we recommend using alkaline batteries.
