How to replace the battery in your August smart lock

August smart locks are a great addition to any home, providing a convenient and secure way to lock and unlock your doors. However, like all electronic devices, they require a power source to function properly. In the case of August smart locks, this power source comes in the form of a battery. In this article, we will guide you through the process of replacing the battery in your August smart lock.

Step 1: Identify the type of battery

The first step in replacing the battery in your August smart lock is to determine the type of battery that your lock uses. August smart locks typically use four AA batteries, but some models may use two AAA batteries or a CR123A battery. You can find this information in your lock's user manual or by checking the battery compartment of your lock.

Step 2: Remove the battery cover

Once you have identified the type of battery, the next step is to remove the battery cover of your August smart lock. To do this, locate the small tab or screw on the bottom of your lock and use a screwdriver or your fingernail to open the cover. Be careful not to force the cover open, as this could damage your lock.

Step 3: Remove the old battery

With the battery cover removed, the next step is to remove the old battery from your August smart lock. If your lock uses AA or AAA batteries, simply pull the batteries out of the compartment. If your lock uses a CR123A battery, you may need to use a small tool such as a paperclip to remove the battery from its holder.

Step 4: Insert the new battery

Once you have removed the old battery, the next step is to insert the new battery into your August smart lock. Make sure that you insert the battery in the correct orientation, as indicated by the markings on the battery compartment. If your lock uses AA or AAA batteries, make sure to insert them in the correct order.

Step 5: Replace the battery cover

With the new battery inserted, the final step is to replace the battery cover of your August smart lock. Make sure that the cover is securely in place and that the locking tab or screw is tightened. Once the cover is in place, your lock should be ready to use.

Conclusion

Replacing the battery in your August smart lock is a quick and easy process that can help ensure that your lock continues to function properly. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can replace the battery in your August smart lock in just a few minutes.
