TroubleshootingLithium batteries maintain a consistent terminal output voltage throughout their lifespan. Unlike alkaline batteries, which exhibit a predictable linear voltage decline, lithium
This may be because of improper battery installment or not using recommended batteries.
Allegion only supports 1.5Vdc alkaline one-time-use batteries. Lithium series batteries do not provide a clear voltage “slope” as they deplete. As a result, the device cannot accurately assess battery health and will transition to a critical battery state suddenly, with little or no prior "Low Battery" warning.
