Recommended Batteries for Yale Smart and Digital Locks
For the best performance, battery life and reliability of your Yale Smart and Digital Lock, we only recommend using alkaline batteries. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the best choice.
Recommended Alkaline Battery Brands:
- Energizer MAX (not Energizer MAX Plus)
- Duracell Coppertop
- Panasonic
- DMEGC
Batteries to Avoid:
- Anko
- Kodak
- Eneloop
- Eveready, especially Eveready Super Heavy Duty
- Energizer MAX Plus (not Energizer MAX)
- Lithium Batteries
- Rechargeable Batteries
We advise against using these batteries, as some may:
- Can lead to performance issues such as the lack of a low battery alert or App notifications
- Can leak and cause corrosion and rust
- Do not contain or deliver sufficient power to the lock, leading to a short battery life
- Send too much power to our locks, posing a risk of explosion
Important - Do Not Mix and Match Batteries
Never use different types or brands of batteries together. For example, mixing Energizer MAX alkaline batteries with Duracell Coppertop batteries can lead to leakage and corrosion, damaging the battery box.
