After 10 yrs. my electronic Safe lock gave out i had a locksmith install the new highly touted Amsec ESL 20 lock and it worked fine for 3 months then nothing, locksmith said replace batteries and all is well, but didn't open safe much and 5 months late same issues now with summer here I shoot a lot and open safe 10X daily and after a week batteries are weak and just don't have the power to open lock.
Now I only use Duracells and they show 9.57V and find out I get 50-60 openings then acts up and will open usually on 2nd try and 30 attempts later nothing and need replacing, safe takes two 9v and on each set I have to replace show 9.37V next batch 9.42V an last set 9.48 and none of these have enough juice to open safe.
So this gets expensive and rechargeable batt. not recommended since they only get to 8.7 volt and the amps are not high enough.
Lithium 9v are slightly wider/thicker & wont fit some gadgets!
What can I do?
Thank You!
