Electronic safe locks need high amps to work properly. Use batteries that are fresh from the store, not the ones that have been sitting in that kitchen drawer for six years.\u00a0 Don’t use rechargeable batteries, either.One more word of advice:\u00a0 Be really careful when changing batteries on electronic safe locks so you don\u2019t break the contacts or connecting wires.\u00a0 That will require the help (and the fee) of a safe technician."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"2015","item":"https:\/\/hoogerhydesafe.com\/2015\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"03","item":"https:\/\/hoogerhydesafe.com\/2015\/\/03\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"The Best Batteries for Electronic Safe Locks","item":"https:\/\/hoogerhydesafe.com\/2015\/03\/best-batteries-electronic-safe-locks\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
