Most smart lock have poor battery life. For budget locks below $100, So far I've found tapo smart lock to be fairly good battery life (3months) and reliable.

These have horrendous battery life and don't integrate well with things like Ring etc. I would steer clear of

I have the fingerprint version of this brand, nothing wrong with the battery life imo. I change it a handful of times a year with my rechargeable batteries

I'm not sure of others experiences but I have the Ultraloq with the finger print sensor on it.

It works great and battery life isn't an issue, it takes 4 AA alkaline, I'm assuming this is similar. I tried with rechargeable batteries at first and those died after a week, you need to use alkaline and preferably something good like Energizer. Lasts about 3-4 months in the winter, but maybe 8 months when it's not freezing, so expect to swap a couple times a year. And you get a notification on your phone if you setup the app

I have the fingerprint style as well. Sadly after 2yrs, the sensor peeled from weathering and no longer works. It worked great while it did and the battery life was about 2-3mos depending on usage.

The battery life claims are surely overstated. I have a model with an external wifi bridge and get 3-4 months between charges. If you enable certain options, like auto lock, the battery will get drained even faster.

I have had one of these for over 4 years. Auto-lock on, and the batteries easily last me 4+ months
Just buy 8 eneloops and keep the other set charged. There's a bright red light that comes on when it gets low and you have 2+ weeks to take 17 seconds out of your day to swap them out.
Only negative I have to say about these is that, rarely, the remote connection doesn't work right away. I have to restart the app a couple times to get it to connect remotely.
Otherwise, great lock and highly recommended. Anyone saying the battery life is crap is probably use crap batteries.

I had the same issue. They sent me a replacement and the same thing happened

I bought four of the fingerprint models (for two doors) over the last five years. All four of them failed. Luckily at different times so I was still able to enter through the other "working" door. Finally got fed up three months ago after the fourth failure and changed brands.

I would recommend UWB (ultra wide band) door locks that unlock automatically via your phone in your pocket. Really cool and hands free. They are more expensive but just a better and more intuitive product.

I've been using this model since Nov 2022 and it's great. I would buy it again if it ever breaks. I've never thought the battery life was an inconvenience. It's easy to swap out the batteries.

I used the first-gen Ultraloq with separate WiFi bridge for a few years and liked it a lot. The bridge recently died so it became Bluetooth-only, and I wanted to pull together all my home automation into Home Assistant, so I switched to the Kwikset HomeConnect 620 (Z-Wave). Everything's local, no cloud connection required. $160 or so retail, but under $80 on eBay. 100% satisfied with it so far.

I personally avoid the ones with WiFi and fingerprint in order to get the longest battery life. But i totally understand those who want the extra convenience at the expense of a bit shorter battery life
