When you replace the batteries is your security combination maintained?

Haven't replaced the batteries yet but can't see why it will reset combination. Good product though.

Yes. That is what I did. I used Velcro though so I could replace batteries easily.

Batteries go inside safe. It will beep and warn you when they are getting low so you can change them out in enough time. Also, they give you an adapter that plugs into the front of safe that you put batteries in that will alow you to power the safe so you could use your finger without having to get key. I am very pleased with the safe and it reads your fingerprint quickly.

I've had my lock working for about a year now and I just changed the batteries to satisfy the wife's piece of mind. A change out of (4) AA batteries once a year is cheap and satisfies the wife.

Once it's set, you're good to go. I installed mine well over a year ago. After unplugging to go out on the lake, I just replug it in when I return and it "remembers" the setting. I haven't had to replace a battery in two years.

I purchased and installed this battery in my home security system about two years back. It has performed without a problem. This is a much less expensive way to replace a security battery; if my security company had replaced it, I would have paid at least two times more. There may be specific instructions on how to power down the system, replace the battery and power up. Other than that, this was a good purchase.

Mine were the ones that did not work only after a few months. I cannot answer your question. However if they are not being used the batteries should not be draining to the point that when you need them in a real live EMERGENCY they don't work! You don't have the luxury of stopping to switch out the batteries. My units are being replaced, but if this happens again I will certainly be calling Wagan again! These are new on the market and in my opinion maybe they shouldn't have been launched until ALL of the bugs were worked out. Not let consumers be the guinea pigs!

Hi - No - the battery is replaceable and is under the unit or at the base of the unit.

Have had a set of batteries (alkaline) in, for over a year, and it still functions fine.However, I would suggest changing them every year, or so. Beats coming home to a dark porch/front door.

I've had mine about a year and have not replaced batteries. But it depends how much you use it.

I keep batteries in the unit so it is ready to deploy in an emergency. I replace the batteries yearly. I have a battery change day once a year for all my devices like emergency radios, flashlights, etc.

Well let see.... I don't remember every changing the batteries since I put them in place, so if you can see when I bought them, not since then. Thanks for reminding to change the batteries. I do test then so I know they still work. One has saved me a couple times.

I don't think it has a security system, but all the settings and presets should reset when the battery is disconnected.

Hi, HamDude: The (complicated) manual says that saves your prints and combination while you replace the battery. It must have a little battery inside just for changing batteries, but I've not seen it. I haven't tried it yet to see that it works. (sounds unrelated) when I was at a private lab, a guy was getting his fingerprints scanned. He was about 70 or so. They had to put some kind of lotion on his hands, because the "elderly" almost lose their fingerprints over the years. I've also found that if your fingers are dry, it won't work as well, or approach the safe at a different angle (for fingerprints). For this reason, some people make 3 or 4 prints for the same finger. Hope this was some help. One word of caution: don't leave the safe door open, or someone you don't want will put their fingerprint in the memory.

I installed the lock for my folks in early January 2013, so I don't have experience with battery lifetime yet. However, the lock uses four AA batteries. It comes with Duracell ProCell batteries. The owner's manual recommends changing the batteries annually as you replace your smoke detector batteries. As a result, I anticipate at least a year's service under moderate use. The lock provides a low battery warning. Battery replacement is very simple--just slip off the black cover on the inside side of the lock, disconnect the battery holder connector, slide the battery holder out, and replace the batteries. The lock retains its settings. I installed the lock for my folks in early January 2013, so I don't have experience with battery lifetime yet. However, the lock uses four AA batteries.
