What to Do If Your Smart Lock Battery Dies?

Introduction
One common worry with smart locks is: “What happens if the battery dies?”

The good news: all premium smart locks from EPIC, Solity, and Yale — available on Techfinder — come with fail-safe mechanisms to ensure you’re never locked out. Here’s what you need to know.

1. Low Battery Warnings

Before anything else, your lock will notify you when battery levels drop:

--->  Beeping sound or LED flash
--->  App notification (if Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled)
--->  Some models even voice alert you

Example: Yale YDME 100 NX will beep and show a red light when battery is low.


2. Emergency Power Backup

If you ignore the warnings and the battery dies, don’t panic.
Most smart locks have an emergency micro-USB port:
--->  Connect a power bank temporarily
--->  Power up and unlock using PIN or fingerprint

EPIC & Solity models, like EPIC Shine Black or Solity GM-6000BK, support this feature.

3. Mechanical Key Override

Premium locks like the Solity GSP-2000BK and EPIC ES-F5000 include a manual keyhole hidden beneath a security flap.
Just insert the key and turn—like a traditional lock.


4. Replaceable AA or Lithium Batteries

Smart locks use standard, easily replaceable batteries:
--->  Most use 4–8 AA batteries
--->  Replacement is simple and tool-free
--->  Battery life usually ranges from 6–12 months

We recommend replacing batteries once or twice a year to avoid surprises. ;)

In Summary

Even if the battery dies, you’re not locked out. With features like emergency power access, override keys, and advance warnings, smart locks from Techfinder’s trusted brands make sure your entry is always secure.
