SwitchBot Lock Pro Rechargable Battery Pack

I own a SwitchBot Lock Pro, and I hate having to constantly replace the batteries. I don’t like the idea of buying alkaline batteries since they aren’t recyclable. I’ve tried using NiMH rechargeable batteries, but due to voltage issues, I have to charge them much more frequently than alkaline ones. It’s annoying to remember to recharge them all the time, and I even came home once to find the door unlocked because the battery had died — if I remember correctly. This rechargeable battery offers a great solution for my situation. I got it in March, and during six months of use, I’ve only had to charge it two or three times. I hope the battery’s life expectancy holds up well, but more testing is needed to be sure.

These batteries will last for a year on a charge and can be charged separately so that the lock is always functioning.

Works well generally but has a few flaws. One is that it does not necessarily cover all door deadbolt holes, which can allow a little air through, not a huge problem but something to note. Two, it uses a magnetic reed switch to sense when the door is closed. This only works if the deadbolt is pretty close to the door frame, which I don't think is that common. So it won't be able to sense when the door is closed. Features that depend on that won't work. If you have it integrated into a home automation system and have other ways to sens the door position, you may be able to work around this limitation, but the switchbot app won't know. Third issue is the remote keypad will discolor to a milky white in just a couple of months. Still works fine but not attractive nor a good indication of build quality. 5/15/2025 UPDATE: Switchbot team reached out to me very quickly regarding this review and offered to send a replacement keypad that had been discolored. They tell me it has been redesigned to prevent that in the future. time will tell, but I do respect their assertive nature to correct the shortcoming of the original.

Great idea to provide this item that will not result in wastage of batteries. Works fine and last a long time.

Best upgrade you can make to your Lock Pro. Only one side is drained from at a time so once one is dead it auto switches to the other and notifies you via alert that the battery is dying. Couldn't ask for more

Good rechargeable batteries.

Convenient and money saving in the long run, definitely recommend

Dit duopack is eenvoudig oplaadbaar via USB-C en maakt het mogelijk om ze afzonderlijk op te laden, terwijl het slot gewoon blijft functioneren.

La lock pro est déjà incroyable sans les batteries mais l'ajout de celles-ci la rend parfaite. Installation plus que facile et la possibilité de n'utiliser qu'un pack le temps de recharger l'autre est parfait. Pour ce qui est des autres commentaires disant que le capteur de fermeture n'est pas bon, le mien fonctionne sans aucuns soucis malgré le fait que la taille maximale conseillée dans le livret est dépassée de plusieurs cm.

This really should have come with the lock for free. I think it's over priced.

電池だとすぐ切れるので購入。切れない。

標準の単三電池で使うか悩みましたが、左右を交互に充電することで再セットアップが不要ならと思い購入しました。 標準仕様もなぜ左右分離していないのか謎です。 欧州の義務化に合わせたのか、旧規格を使わずType-Cで充電できる点が良い
