Simplisafe smart lock pin pad battery life.

The websites states that the Simplisafe smart lock battery life is 8-12 months. It does not state how long the battery life of the pinpad is or what type of batteries are used. Does anyone know the battery life of the pin pad?

The battery compartment is under the big plastic section at the top. You just want to slide the whole panel up!

You gave instructions for the interior battery compartment that runs the lock.  I believe they were asking how to change the batteries in the exterior keypad you enter your pin on.

@cgc622​ If you're looking at the pin pad for your Smart Lock, at the bottom of it there is a tiny hole. Use the tool that came with the Smart Lock (it looks like a SIM card removal tool) and press it into that hole. From there, the back of the pin pad will pop off, and allow you to change the batteries within the device.

The pin pad has a hole at the bottom, very similar to a SIM card opening hole, and the install package includes a tool similar to a SIM opener. (I suspect you could actually substitute one.) Press that into the hole, and the main part of the pad pops off the base. The batteries are accessible then.

One of my pin pads no longer lights when you approach. It lights when a button is pressed. That is a pain unless you have a light to light up the pad to see the buttons. My other lock pad lights up when you reach for the pad at night.

Waiting for a response from SS.
