One、How to power the fingerprint lock
1、Powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, commonly used in fully automatic smart locks. The batteries are easily removable and feature a built-in USB charging port, allowing for a full charge in approximately 2 hours. These batteries can provide usage for over six months.
2. Powered by 5Ah batteries, commonly used in semi-automatic smart locks. 5Ah batteries are readily available and can be replaced easily. 5Ah alkaline batteries can last for approximately 8 months, offering a low battery cost and convenient replacement. Using eight 5Ah batteries can extend the lifespan to approximately 16 months. The power consumption varies depending on the model and brand of the fingerprint lock.
Fingerprint locks are equipped with low-battery alerts, making it easy to detect when the battery is running low and recharge or replace it promptly, without affecting usage. If you are unable to recharge or replace the battery due to unforeseen circumstances, you can consider using a USB power bank or unlocking the door with a key, as the keyhole and USB charging port are located at the bottom of the fingerprint lock.
Two, is a fingerprint lock better than a battery-powered lock or a rechargeable lock?
Generally, smart locks powered by dry batteries are semi-automatic locks, offering advantages such as lower power consumption and improved stability. In contrast, those powered by lithium batteries are fully automatic locks, particularly for products like video locks and facial recognition locks, which consume more power. Currently, the market for dry batteries is relatively small, and lithium batteries are expected to dominate in the future and become the standard. The key factors for stable growth and improvement include the increasing proportion of fully automatic smart locks and the continuous updates of new features that require power.
