A few have external terminals to charge them when they die.
I have a 9v battery stashed in a flower pot next to my door for when it happens.
Comment on Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?
variants@possumpat.io 2 years agoIve always wondered what happens if the battery dies, do you still need to carry a key in case that happens

I hope there is a replacement replacement. Life deserves recursion.

Two is one, one is none.

Usually there is a warning that the battery is dying well ahead of it actually being dead. You unlock it and then it starts beeping at you. It keeps doing that until you either change the batteries or it eventually dies. But you have to do a lot of ignoring for it to die on you. Many do have key backups to though.
