Unlocking the Lithium Battery Cover, Alpha ed-Lock

"I replaced the battery myself, but it seems that I made a mistake in the direction, and the cover did not come off."

It was a call from the apartment I just visited the other day.All apartments here are Alpha (ALPHA) ed-Lock.

The content of this time was a case where the client himself replaced the battery, but it stopped working due to a mistake in the method.

The cover can be easily removed normally, but this time it was a little difficult.

The position of the hole for unlocking the bypass was quite unclear.I don't know the reason, but I had a little trouble in confirming it.

In addition, the battery was inserted backwards and unnecessary tension was applied to the cover.The battery was stuck on the cover.

By setting the lithium battery in the normal direction, the operation became stable.


Most of the complaints from the market are troubles when replacing batteries.This is an example of a design mistake.It is a fatal design mistake to be able to set it in the wrong direction.It should have a solid quality guarantee, but it has become a disappointing product.

After all, the improved model is "ed-Lock plus".The power supply has been changed to AA batteries, and the battery replacement method has been changed to access from the front.
