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.
