I’ve had a set of Eneloops in my Schlage for five months now and they haven’t gone down much at all. We probably only average 10-15 entries per day.
I removed my Eneloops after 3 months because I started to get intermittent communications failure with the lock. I think this error is determined by the distance from my lock to Vera. The Powergenix has not shown that problem so far, maybe the extra .4v per cell gives the lock a longer transmission distance.
