Troubleshooting Poor Battery Life on Schlage Arrive Smart Lock

The Schlage Arrive Smart Lock is designed to have a battery life of approximately 12 months under normal usage. However, if you find yourself needing to replace the batteries sooner—such as every 4 months or less—your lock may be experiencing poor battery life. There are several potential causes for rapid battery drain, and fortunately, there are solutions to address these issues.

 

What Causes Rapid Battery Drain?

  1. Poor or weak Wi-Fi signal strength.
  2. Excessive Lock Usage.
  3. Use of Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries

How to Troubleshoot These Issues:

1. Review Wi-Fi Signal Strength:

How to Check Wi-Fi Signal Strength

  • A poor or weak Wi-Fi signal can contribute to reduced battery life.
  • Check the Wi-Fi signal strength for your lock using the Schlage Home app or your router’s settings.
  • If the signal strength is weak or poor, consider relocating your Wi-Fi router or using a Wi-Fi extender to improve connectivity..

2. Excessive Lock Usage

  • If the lock is being used more than 35-40 times per day, this could be the reason for poor battery performance.

3. Avoid Using Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries

  • Lithium and rechargeable batteries may not provide the consistent power output required for optimal lock performance.
  • To resolve this issue, replace the current batteries with high-quality alkaline batteries for better reliability and longer battery life.

By addressing these potential causes, you can improve the battery life of your Schlage Arrive Smart Lock and ensure it operates efficiently. If you continue to experience issues after troubleshooting, please click here to submit a ticket to customer support.
