Battery drainage issue

Similar issue. But the lock for a new house in August. The mic was working fine for 3 months and then the batteries died. Now I have to replace the batteries every week. Any suggestions?

The battery drain on this lock is ridiculous. I’ve had the Ultraloq since Christmas 12/25/2022. I have had to change batteries 3 times already!! Yes, 3 times in less than 6 weeks.

I’ve read SO many reviews complaining about this issue. Is there is a fix? This lock has proven to be trash. So disappointed in this purchase.

I’m also experiencing the U-tec U-bolt lock battery drain problem. After my batteries drained quickly with strong wi-fi, I started tracking to see when I first got a low battery warning. It took 26 days after fresh non-rechargable batteries were installed to see the low battery warning.

This is not a high traffic doorway. It’s protected from direct sun. Outside temperatures have been reasonable lately (Austin, TX). Here are the details:

02/28/2023 replaced batteries, status:High
03/07/2023 status:Medium (10 days from replacement)
03/14/2023 status: Medium (17 days from replacement)
03/25/2023 status: Low Battery (26 days from replacement)

WiFi signal Good (-46dB on 2/28) (-41dB on 3/26)

Device model: U-bolt-Pro-WiFi

I am going through batteries like crazy. I have tried everything mentioned in this thread but my batteries (brand new Duracell) are lasting 3-4 weeks at most without even using any of the functions I bought this lock for. I don’t know what to do but it’s getting really expensive. Anyone figure anything else out?

I have the same issue. I’ve owned this lock for about 6 weeks and I’ve had to change the battery 3 times. This is NOT acceptable. Costing me hundreds in installation fees too if I have to replace it.
