Q1: Why is the battery life of smart locks getting shorter and shorter?
A: The shortened battery life of smart locks can be attributed to several factors:
Increased usage frequency, leading to faster battery depletion.
Upgraded features in smart locks, with new functions increasing power consumption.
Battery aging over time, resulting in decreased performance and reduced stored power.
Extreme weather conditions (high or low temperatures) affecting battery performance.
Q2: Why does it feel like the battery is never fully charged?
A: The sensation of an incompletely charged battery may stem from the following reasons:
Using a non-original or voltage-mismatched charger, leading to inefficient charging.
Poor contact or damage to the charging port, affecting charging effectiveness.
Battery aging, weakening its ability to accept a full charge.
Q3: How do I know when the battery is fully charged?
A: When using a 5V 2A charger, it typically takes 6-8 hours to fully charge. During charging, observe the color change of the battery indicator light:
Red light indicates charging in progress.
Blue/Green light indicates charging is complete.
If the indicator light remains off, the red light does not change color, or red and blue lights alternate and flash, it may indicate a battery fault, requiring prompt replacement.
Q4: What preparations should I make before charging?
A: Before charging, ensure you have the following:
A 5V 2A charging head.
The corresponding charging cable for the battery.
Ensure the charging head voltage matches the battery requirements, avoiding the use of a charging head exceeding the rated voltage.
Q5: What is the correct charging process?
A: The correct charging process is as follows:
Remove the battery from the smart lock.
Connect the charging cable to the charging port on the battery.
Plug in the charging head to begin charging.
Note: The socket in the outdoor panel of the door lock is for emergency power supply and should not be used for charging.
Q6: How can I tell if the battery needs to be replaced?
A: You can determine if the battery needs replacement through the following methods:
Significantly shortened battery life.
Abnormal charging indicator light (e.g., not lighting up, red light not changing color).
Battery swelling or leakage.
Q7: How do I regularly check the battery?
A: Regular battery checks ensure the smooth operation of smart locks. It is recommended to:
Promptly check battery conditions under extreme weather conditions (e.g., high or low temperatures).
Immediately replace batteries with swelling or leakage to prevent corrosion of internal components.
Q8: How should I store batteries?
A: When storing batteries, consider the following:
Store in a dry, cool place, avoiding high temperatures and humidity.
Prevent direct contact between battery terminals and metal objects to avoid short circuits.
For spare batteries, periodically charge them to maintain full power.
