A smart lock with a rechargeable battery pack can reduce disposable-battery waste, but the right choice depends on whether the lock includes a dedicated pack or only supports a compatible replacement. My best overall pick is the eufy Security Smart Lock E31, which combines fingerprint access with a rechargeable-battery ecosystem. The Tapo DL110 stands out for buyers who want fingerprint entry and Wi-Fi in one lock, while the Lockly Vision Zeno suits shoppers who want a video doorbell and lock together. The main tradeoffs are charging convenience, compatibility, entry methods, and how much connected hardware you want on the door. Read on for the full breakdown of how the 15 picks differ and which type of buyer each one suits.

Key Takeaways
- Rechargeable does not mean included: the lineup includes complete smart locks, replacement battery packs, and a standalone rechargeable battery, so check exactly what is in the box before buying.
- The eufy E31 is the strongest all-round match: it pairs fingerprint entry with a named rechargeable-battery ecosystem, while many other locks in the roundup emphasize access features without a clearly identified pack in the product name.
- Lockly Vision Zeno adds more than access: its video doorbell camera and Apple Home Key make it a strong fit for connected-entry convenience, but buyers should weigh the added hardware against simpler locks.
- Palm-vein models form a distinct group: TCL’s Palm Vein options and the Wyze Palm Lock offer an alternative to fingerprints, while the Tapo, eufy, DESLOC, and Wyze Bolt v2 focus on fingerprint recognition.
- Battery parts need exact model matching: the Lockin pack is specified for Veno locks, the Nyboer battery for the H3B Pro, and the eufy battery lists supported eufy devices; they are not interchangeable just because they are rechargeable.
- Connectivity changes the ownership tradeoff: Wi-Fi, Matter over Thread, and app features can add remote control or smart-home links, but buyers should verify their hub, network, and preferred ecosystem before choosing.

More Details on Our Top Picks
TCL Palm Vein Keyless Entry Deadbolt with Matter Over Thread
I’d choose the TCL D2 Pro for households that want to open the door without touching a keypad or handling a key. Its palm-vein reader makes entry distinct from the Tapo DL110, which relies on fingerprints, while Matter over Thread gives the TCL a broad smart-home integration path. The weather-resistant aluminum-alloy build and DIY installation suit an exposed front door, and the listed battery life of up to eight months means less frequent maintenance than some rechargeable models.
The key tradeoff for this roundup is power: despite its long stated runtime, this lock uses 8 AA batteries, not a rechargeable battery pack. I’d skip it if rechargeable power is a firm requirement. It also offers fewer biometric choices than the Lockly Visage Zeno, and buyers should check their door dimensions before ordering.
Pros:- Palm-vein recognition enables touch-free entry.
- Matter over Thread and Wi-Fi support smart-home integration.
- IP55 weather resistance and aluminum-alloy construction suit exterior use.
- Listed battery life reaches up to eight months.
Cons:- Uses 8 AA batteries rather than a rechargeable battery pack.
- Limited to standard residential door sizes.
- Offers palm-vein access but not the fingerprint and facial-recognition options found on other models.
Best for: Households prioritizing touch-free palm-vein entry, Matter-compatible smart-home control, and weather resistance over rechargeable power.
Not ideal for: Buyers who specifically want a rechargeable battery pack or whose doors fall outside standard residential sizing.
- Brand:TCL
- Model:D2 Pro
- Biometric access:Palm-vein recognition
- Connectivity:Matter over Thread, Wi-Fi
- Weather resistance:IP55
- Battery life:Up to 8 months
- Battery type:8 AA batteries
- Material:Aluminum alloy
Our verdict“Choose the TCL D2 Pro if touch-free palm-vein access and Matter support matter more to you than a rechargeable battery.”
Tapo Smart Wi-Fi Door Lock, Deadbolt, Fingerprint Recognition DL110
The Tapo DL110 is a strong fit for buyers who want a rechargeable lock with several ways to get inside. Its fingerprint reader is rated to recognize a print in 0.42 seconds, and the lock also supports passcodes, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, voice assistants, and backup keys. Compared with the AA-powered TCL D2 Pro, the included rechargeable battery pack better matches this roundup’s focus; its stated runtime of up to a year is also longer than the Lockly Visage Zeno’s listed six months.
That flexibility comes with some caveats. Tapo says battery life varies with use and conditions, and fingerprint performance can also be affected by environmental factors. I’d favor the DESLOC K120 for a longer stated runtime, but the DL110 has broader listed access methods and stores up to 100 fingerprints. It’s intended for exterior doors, not interior installations.
Pros:- Includes a rechargeable battery pack and USB charger.
- Fingerprint recognition speed is listed at 0.42 seconds.
- Supports fingerprints, passcodes, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, voice assistants, and keys.
- Stores up to 100 fingerprints and provides activity logs and real-time alerts.
Cons:- Battery life varies with usage and environmental conditions.
- Fingerprint recognition may be affected by environmental conditions.
- Designed for exterior installation rather than interior doors.
Best for: Households seeking a rechargeable exterior deadbolt with fast fingerprint entry, guest passcodes, and multiple backup access methods.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a lock for an interior door or a model with a stated battery life longer than the DL110’s up to one year.
- Model:Tapo DL110
- Access methods:Fingerprint, keypad passcodes, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, voice assistants, backup keys
- Battery type:Rechargeable battery pack
- Battery life:Up to 1 year
- Recognition speed:0.42 seconds
- Fingerprint capacity:Up to 100 fingerprints
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- Smart-home compatibility:Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings
- Security features:Auto-lock, real-time alerts, activity log
Our verdict“Pick the Tapo DL110 if you want rechargeable power plus quick fingerprint access and several ways to manage household and guest entry.”
Chamberlain myQ Smart Lock Rechargeable Battery – Fast Charging
This Chamberlain battery is a replacement power accessory, not a complete smart lock, so it belongs on the list for existing myQ owners who want a charged spare ready to swap in. Its tool-free slide cover and included USB-C charging cable make the handoff straightforward: keep one battery in the lock while the other charges, rather than waiting for power to return. That’s a more focused backup strategy than buying a full lock like the Tapo DL110, which includes its battery as part of a larger entry system.
The tradeoff is that the accessory only serves compatible myQ Video or myQ Smart Lock models; it won’t power the Lockly Visage Zeno or other brands. The listing specifies one battery, so buyers who want multiple spares need to source them separately. Battery capacity, runtime, and charging time aren’t provided here, which limits comparisons on endurance and recharge speed.
Pros:- Provides a spare battery to reduce downtime during charging.
- Tool-free slide cover supports quick battery swaps.
- Includes a USB-C charging cable.
- Listed as compatible with myQ Video and myQ Smart Lock models.
Cons:- It is a battery accessory, not a smart lock.
- Only one battery is included.
- Battery capacity, runtime, and charging time are not specified.
Best for: Current myQ Video or myQ Smart Lock owners who want a tool-free battery swap and a charged backup on hand.
Not ideal for: People shopping for a complete smart lock, owners of other lock brands, or buyers who need published battery-capacity and runtime figures.
- Brand:Chamberlain
- Manufacturer:Chamberlain Group
- Product type:Rechargeable battery accessory
- Compatibility:myQ Video and myQ Smart Lock models
- Pieces included:1 battery
- Charging connection:USB-C cable included
Our verdict“Buy this only if you already own a compatible myQ lock and want a ready-to-swap rechargeable backup.”
Lockly Visage Zeno Series Smart Lock with Facial Recognition and Fingerprint
The Lockly Visage Zeno is the most feature-rich biometric choice here for buyers who want to unlock without relying on a single recognition method. It combines facial recognition with fingerprint, keypad, app, physical-key, and voice-assistant access, and its Apple Home Key support gives Apple households another convenient route. Compared with the fingerprint-focused Tapo DL110, the Zeno adds face-based entry; against the palm-vein TCL D2 Pro, it offers more listed access methods and Wi-Fi remote management.
That breadth brings compromises. Its rechargeable batteries are listed for up to six months, shorter than the Tapo’s one-year claim and the DESLOC K120’s 16-month claim. Installation may also take more technical familiarity, and the listing warns that facial recognition accuracy can vary with lighting. I’d choose it for access-method flexibility, not for the longest stated battery interval.
Pros:- Combines facial recognition with fingerprint, keypad, app, key, and voice access.
- Supports Apple Home Key and Wi-Fi remote management.
- Uses rechargeable lithium batteries.
- Fits doors listed at 1 3/8 to 2 inches thick.
Cons:- Battery life is listed at up to six months, shorter than the Tapo DL110 and DESLOC K120 claims.
- Installation may require more technical familiarity.
- Facial recognition accuracy may be affected by lighting conditions.
Best for: Apple Home households that want facial recognition alongside fingerprint, keypad, app, and physical-key access.
Not ideal for: Buyers focused on the longest listed rechargeable runtime or those who prefer a simpler installation and fewer access methods.
- Model:PGK728WRHK
- Access methods:Facial recognition, fingerprint, app, keypad, physical key, voice assistants
- Battery:2 × 10,000mAh lithium batteries
- Battery life:Up to 6 months
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi
- Supported platforms:Apple Home Key, Alexa, Google Assistant
- Installation:DIY; fits doors 1 3/8–2 inches thick
Our verdict“Choose the Visage Zeno for broad biometric and Apple Home Key access, but not if your priority is the longest battery runtime.”
DESLOC Fingerprint WiFi Smart Lock K120 – Keyless Deadbolt with App Control, Up to 16 Months Battery Life
For buyers trying to stretch the time between charges, the DESLOC K120 has the longest stated runtime in this group: up to 16 months from its 15,000mAh rechargeable battery. That claim gives it an advantage over the Tapo DL110’s up to one year and the Lockly Visage Zeno’s up to six months. It pairs that endurance focus with 3D GPT fingerprint recognition, app control, notifications, backup keys, and a temperature range listed from -22°F to 158°F, making it a practical candidate for exposed entry doors.
The tradeoff is that long runtime is only one part of the decision. The K120 is rated BHMA Grade 3, and its charging requirements call for a 5V/2A charger. Some buyers may also find app setup complex. I’d choose the Tapo instead if a wider set of listed access methods and fingerprint storage capacity are priorities; the DESLOC makes more sense when fewer charging interruptions matter most.
Pros:- 15,000mAh rechargeable battery is rated for up to 16 months of use.
- 3D GPT biometric recognition provides fingerprint access.
- Listed operating range spans -22°F to 158°F.
- BHMA Grade 3 testing includes 100,000 lock cycles.
Cons:- Security rating is BHMA Grade 3.
- Battery charging requires a 5V/2A charger.
- App setup may be complex for some buyers.
Best for: Homeowners who want a rechargeable fingerprint deadbolt with a long stated runtime and a broad operating-temperature range.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a higher BHMA grade, want simpler app setup, or cannot use a 5V/2A charger.
- Model:K120
- Battery capacity:15,000mAh
- Battery life:Up to 16 months
- Recognition technology:3D GPT biometric recognition
- Security standard:BHMA Grade 3
- Lock-cycle testing:100,000 cycles
- Operating temperature:-22°F to 158°F (-30°C to 70°C)
- Charger requirement:5V/2A
Our verdict“Choose the DESLOC K120 if long stated battery life is your main priority and BHMA Grade 3 meets your security needs.”
eufy Security Smart Lock E31, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Door Lock
The eufy Security Smart Lock E31 is my strongest all-round pick for buyers who want a complete smart lock, not just a spare battery. Its included 10,000mAh rechargeable pack is rated for up to 14 months, longer than the TCL D2 Pro’s stated eight months, while fingerprint, keypad, app, physical-key, and voice access give household members several ways in. Support for Apple Home, Google Home, and SmartThings also makes it a flexible fit for mixed smart-home setups. The tradeoff is that compatibility and setup choices may take more time to sort out than a simpler lock. It also depends on keeping the battery charged, so buyers who want an ordinary replaceable-battery setup should look elsewhere. With a stated 15-minute installation and no-drill fit, it balances convenience and battery life particularly well.
Pros:- Included 10,000mAh rechargeable battery is rated for up to 14 months.
- Fingerprint, keypad, app, physical key, and voice control offer varied entry methods.
- Works with Apple Home, Google Home, and SmartThings.
- Designed for 15-minute installation without drilling.
Cons:- Requires periodic charging, with backup power needed if the battery runs flat.
- The range of setup and connectivity options may feel complex to some users.
Best for: Households seeking a rechargeable smart deadbolt with long stated battery life, fingerprint entry, and broad smart-home compatibility.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer standard replaceable batteries or want a very simple setup with few app and smart-home options.
- Brand:eufy Security
- Model:T85F0J11
- Lock type:Deadbolt
- Battery capacity:10,000mAh rechargeable
- Stated battery life:Up to 14 months
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Matter
- Access methods:Fingerprint, app, keypad, physical key, voice
- Smart-home compatibility:Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant; also described as compatible with SmartThings
Our verdict“Choose the E31 if long stated battery life and broad access options matter more than keeping setup simple.”
TCL Smart Lock Palm Vein Keyless Entry Door Lock with Deadbolt (D2 Pro)
The TCL D2 Pro is the choice here for buyers who want biometric entry without relying on a fingerprint reader. Its palm vein scan is described as unlocking in 0.3 seconds and working with wet hands or bright sunlight, a useful distinction from the fingerprint-based eufy E31 and Lockly Vision Zeno. It also offers passcodes, NFC cards, app access, voice commands, and physical keys, so guests and family members are not limited to one method. The cost of that flexibility is a stated battery life of up to eight months, shorter than the E31’s 14 months. Wi-Fi remote management and weather protection suit an exposed entry, but buyers who dislike app setup or periodic charging may prefer a less feature-heavy lock. Its door-thickness range is clearly specified, which helps check fit before choosing.
Pros:- Palm vein scanning is stated to work with wet hands and bright sunlight.
- Six access methods include NFC cards, passcodes, app, voice, and physical keys.
- 10,000mAh rechargeable battery is rated for up to eight months and has low-power alerts.
- IP55 weather rating and specified door-thickness compatibility aid fit planning.
Cons:- Stated battery life is shorter than the eufy E31’s up-to-14-month rating.
- Initial setup may be complex for non-technical users.
- Still requires periodic charging despite the high-capacity battery.
Best for: Homeowners who want fingerprint-free biometric entry, several backup access methods, and a weather-rated lock for an exposed doorway.
Not ideal for: Buyers prioritizing the longest stated charge interval or seeking a straightforward setup with minimal app configuration.
- Brand:TCL
- Model:D2 Pro
- Battery:10,000mAh rechargeable
- Stated battery life:Up to eight months
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi
- Access methods:Palm vein scan, touchscreen passcode, app, voice, NFC card, physical key
- Door thickness compatibility:1-3/8 to 2-1/8 inches
Our verdict“Pick the D2 Pro if palm vein entry and outdoor use outweigh a shorter stated battery interval and more involved setup.”
Lockin Rechargeable Battery Pack for Veno Smart Locks
This Lockin rechargeable battery pack is a supporting accessory, not a smart lock: its place in this roundup is for Veno owners who want a charge-ready spare. The removable 5,000mAh pack can be charged away from the lock, which can keep a compatible Veno Pro, Veno Plus, or Veno operating while another battery is charging. That makes it a different kind of battery solution from the E31 and TCL D2 Pro, which are complete locks supplied with their own rechargeable packs. The key limitation is narrow compatibility; it is not a general-purpose smart-lock battery, and the listed data does not give a specific runtime per charge. Buyers should confirm their exact Veno model before ordering and plan for a second pack if they need uninterrupted operation. The product data also lists a 200g battery weight, a factor to check if minimizing pack bulk matters.
Pros:- Removable design allows charging without uninstalling the compatible lock.
- 5,000mAh capacity offers a dedicated rechargeable replacement pack.
- Compatible with Veno, Veno Plus, and Veno Pro locks.
- A second pack can support battery swaps while the other is charging.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to specified Veno lock models.
- No specific operating time per charge is provided.
- Continuous use with a swap-ready spare requires buying an additional battery.
Best for: Veno Pro, Veno Plus, and Veno owners who want a removable spare battery to swap in while their main pack charges.
Not ideal for: Owners of other smart-lock brands, or buyers looking for a complete smart lock or a stated battery runtime.
- Battery capacity:5,000mAh
- Battery chemistry:Lithium polymer
- Compatibility:Veno, Veno Plus, and Veno Pro smart locks
- Battery weight:200g
- Number of batteries:1
- Listed item dimensions:8.7 x 8.7 x 4.95 inches
Our verdict“Buy this pack if you own a listed Veno lock and want charging to happen away from the door.”
Lockly Vision Zeno Smart Lock with Video Doorbell Camera and Apple Home Key
The Lockly Vision Zeno is the most feature-packed choice in this group, pairing a rechargeable deadbolt with a 2K night-vision camera and video doorbell functions. That combination suits buyers who want to manage entry and see visitors from one device, while Apple Home Key, fingerprint, PIN Genie, app, voice control, and a physical key provide several ways to get inside. Compared with the eufy E31, it adds camera and doorbell capability but has a shorter stated battery interval: up to six months rather than up to 14. Two rechargeable batteries help power its broader feature set, yet charging remains a more frequent task than with the E31. Wi-Fi is needed for remote features, so this is a weaker fit where connectivity is unreliable. Its IP65 rating and broad listed door-thickness range add practical flexibility for installation.
Pros:- Combines a deadbolt with a 2K camera, night vision, and video doorbell features.
- Supports Apple Home Key alongside fingerprint, PIN Genie, app, voice, and physical-key entry.
- Two rechargeable lithium batteries are rated for up to six months.
- IP65 rating and compatibility with doors 1-3/8 to 3-1/8 inches thick.
Cons:- Six-month stated battery life is shorter than the eufy E31’s up-to-14-month rating.
- Remote functions depend on a stable Wi-Fi connection.
- Camera and connected features make it a more involved choice than a basic rechargeable deadbolt.
Best for: Homeowners who want a single entry device that combines a rechargeable deadbolt, video doorbell, and Apple Home Key access.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prioritize long periods between charges, have unreliable Wi-Fi, or need a lock without an integrated camera.
- Brand:Lockly
- Model:PGK798HK
- Battery:Two rechargeable lithium batteries
- Stated battery life:Up to six months
- Camera:2K resolution with night vision
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi enabled
- Access methods:Fingerprint, Apple Home Key, Alexa/Google voice, app, PIN Genie keypad, physical key
- Door thickness compatibility:1-3/8 to 3-1/8 inches
Our verdict“Choose the Vision Zeno if integrated video and Apple Home Key are worth more to you than fewer charging intervals.”
Nyboer Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery for H3B Pro Smart Lock
The Nyboer lithium-ion battery is a model-specific replacement for H3B Pro owners, rather than a full lock like the eufy E31 or TCL D2 Pro. Its USB-C charging and accessible battery compartment can make routine recharging simpler, especially for a lock that uses camera and Wi-Fi functions. At 3,000mAh, it has less listed capacity than the 5,000mAh Lockin Veno pack, and the product data does not state how long one charge lasts. That makes it harder to plan charging intervals, so buyers should not assume a particular runtime from capacity alone. The narrow H3B Pro compatibility is another firm boundary: this pack is not a universal replacement. It also requires removing the rear cover for access, so it is best for owners comfortable with that maintenance step and who have confirmed their lock model.
Pros:- USB-C charging avoids relying on a proprietary charging connection.
- Designed to power the H3B Pro’s camera and Wi-Fi functions.
- Battery access supports replacement without replacing the lock.
- Compact listed dimensions of 3.43 x 3.15 x 1.02 inches.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to the Nyboer H3B Pro.
- No battery-life duration is specified.
- Access requires removal of the rear cover.
Best for: Nyboer H3B Pro owners seeking a USB-C rechargeable replacement battery for a lock that uses camera and Wi-Fi features.
Not ideal for: Owners of other lock models or buyers who need a published runtime to plan charging and replacement intervals.
- Battery capacity:3,000mAh
- Battery type:Lithium ion
- Compatibility:Nyboer H3B Pro smart lock
- Charging port:USB-C
- Battery weight:3.52 ounces
- Item weight:4.16 ounces
- Item dimensions:3.43 x 3.15 x 1.02 inches
- Number of batteries:1
Our verdict“Choose this replacement only if you own the Nyboer H3B Pro and are comfortable charging its battery by USB-C.”
Yale Extended Range WiFi Smart Lock Deadbolt – Black Suede
The Yale Assure Lock 2 is the strongest fit here for households that want hands-free entry and remote access without making a rechargeable battery the centerpiece. Auto-unlock, DoorSense auto-lock, and unlimited user codes cover everyday arrivals and changing household access needs. Its included Yale Connect Bridge handles Wi-Fi communication separately, which Yale says supports longer battery life, but the listed power setup does not specify a rechargeable pack. Compared with the Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2, Yale emphasizes proximity-based entry and Grade 2 certification rather than fingerprint recognition. The tradeoff is the extra bridge: it adds a component to install, and the app version is limited to the US and Canada. I’d choose it for convenient entry and broad code access, not for buyers specifically seeking a rechargeable battery.
Pros:- Auto-unlock and DoorSense auto-lock reduce routine keypad use.
- Unlimited user codes suit households with frequent guests or changing access needs.
- Includes a Wi-Fi bridge for remote control through the Yale Access app.
- Grade 2 certification and a wide stated operating-temperature range support varied conditions.
Cons:- A rechargeable battery pack is not specified in the supplied product details.
- Wi-Fi requires installing the included Yale Connect Bridge.
- The listed Yale Access app version is limited to the US and Canada.
Best for: Households that want hands-free arrival, automatic relocking, remote access, and many individual entry codes.
Not ideal for: Buyers who require a rechargeable battery pack or want Wi-Fi operation without installing a separate bridge.
- Model:YRD410-CB1-BSP
- Finish:Black Suede
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) via Yale Connect Bridge
- Certification:Grade 2 BHMA
- Operating temperature:-22°F to 140°F
- Door thickness compatibility:1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches
- Bore hole size:2-1/8 inches
- Included components:Deadbolt, backup key, mounting hardware, instruction guide, and Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge
Our verdict“Choose Yale for hands-free access, remote control, and flexible codes, but skip it if a rechargeable pack is your main requirement.”
Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Smart Lock with Wi-Fi, AI Learning Scanner, Auto-Lock, IP53 Weather-Resistant, BHMA2, Backup Keys
The Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 puts quick fingerprint entry ahead of rechargeable convenience: its scanner is described as unlocking in under half a second, and it adapts to usage to improve recognition. Fingerprint, keypad, app, and backup-key access give household members alternatives if one method does not suit them. Unlike the TCL Palm Vein Smart Lock D1 Pro, Wyze uses a fingerprint rather than palm-vein authentication, while its battery setup is eight AA batteries with up to eight months of stated life—not a rechargeable pack. Wi-Fi app control and tamper alarms add useful remote and security functions, but IP53 is not a fully waterproof rating. I’d rank it for buyers who value fast biometric access and several entry methods over rechargeable power; battery replacement and setup complexity are the main compromises.
Pros:- Fingerprint unlocking is specified at under half a second.
- Usage-learning scanner is designed to improve recognition over time.
- Fingerprint, keypad, app, and backup keys provide multiple ways to enter.
- Wi-Fi control, tamper alarms, and BHMA2 durability add practical security features.
Cons:- Uses eight AA batteries rather than a rechargeable battery pack.
- IP53 weather resistance does not make the lock fully waterproof.
- Setup and configuration may be challenging for some users.
Best for: Households that want quick fingerprint access, remote app control, and backup entry methods, and are comfortable replacing AA batteries.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a built-in rechargeable battery pack, full waterproofing, or the simpler setup of a basic keypad lock.
- Model:WLCKB2
- Power:8 AA batteries included
- Stated battery life:Up to 8 months
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi
- Weather resistance:IP53
- Durability:BHMA2
- Control methods:Biometric, deadbolt, keypad, and app
- Included components:Wyze Lock Bolt v2 and 8 AA batteries
Our verdict“Pick the Wyze Bolt v2 for fast fingerprint access and multiple entry options, not for rechargeable power or exposed, wet locations.”
TCL Palm Vein Smart Lock D1 Pro, Keyless Entry Door Lock for Front Door
The TCL D1 Pro is the clearest match for this roundup’s rechargeable-battery focus: it includes a 7,800 mAh rechargeable battery, with stated life of up to eight months and low-battery alerts. Its palm-vein reader sets it apart from the Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2’s fingerprint scanner, while passcodes, an app, voice assistants, mechanical keys, and fobs keep access flexible. Alexa and Google Assistant support can fit a connected home, though the range of access methods also means more setup than a basic keypad lock. Compared with the Yale Assure Lock 2, TCL makes rechargeable power explicit rather than emphasizing a separate Wi-Fi bridge and battery-life strategy. The higher feature complexity and one-year limited warranty are tradeoffs, and buyers should be comfortable configuring a smart lock. I’d shortlist it when rechargeable power and biometric choice matter more than simplicity.
Pros:- Includes a 7,800 mAh rechargeable battery with up to eight months of stated life.
- Palm-vein authentication offers a distinct alternative to fingerprint scanning.
- Passcodes, app, voice assistant, mechanical key, and key fob provide varied entry options.
- Supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant and provides low-battery alerts.
Cons:- Multiple access methods and integrations can add setup work.
- The supplied details specify a one-year limited warranty.
- The feature set may be more than buyers need if they want a straightforward keypad lock.
Best for: Smart-home households seeking palm-vein entry, multiple backup access methods, and a clearly specified rechargeable battery.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer a simple keypad deadbolt, do not want to configure app and voice integrations, or need a longer stated warranty.
- Model:D1 Pro
- Authentication:Palm-vein biometric
- Battery:7,800 mAh rechargeable
- Stated battery life:Up to 8 months
- Access methods:Palm vein, app, voice assistant, passcodes, mechanical key, and key fob
- Smart-home compatibility:Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
- Included components:Exterior and interior assemblies, latch, 2 keys, 2 fobs, battery, screws, diagram, video guide, and manual
- Warranty:1-year limited
Our verdict“Choose the TCL D1 Pro if you want rechargeable power paired with palm-vein access and several backups, and are willing to configure its connected features.”
eufy Rechargeable Battery for eufyCam S4, S330 3-in-1 Video Smart Lock, E330 Video Smart Lock, Smart Lock S230, Smart Lock E31 and Smart Drop, Black
This eufy battery is a replacement power component, not a smart lock, so it belongs on a shortlist only if you already own one of the compatible devices. Its 10,000 mAh lithium-ion capacity and swappable design are meant to let owners replace the battery without removing the device. That makes it a more direct answer to rechargeable upkeep than the Yale Assure Lock 2, whose supplied details describe a Wi-Fi bridge and battery alerts but no rechargeable pack. The key limitation is compatibility: the listing names specific eufy cameras, locks, and a Smart Drop, so I would verify the exact device model before buying. Battery-life duration is not provided, and it cannot add smart-lock features to an incompatible door lock. For a supported eufy lock owner, it offers a convenient spare or replacement; for everyone else, it is the wrong kind of purchase.
Pros:- 10,000 mAh capacity provides a substantial rechargeable battery specification.
- Swappable design is described as allowing replacement without removing the device.
- Listed compatibility includes several eufy smart locks and security products.
Cons:- It is a battery accessory, not a complete smart lock.
- Compatibility is limited to specified eufy devices and requires model verification.
- The supplied details do not state battery-life duration.
Best for: Owners of a specifically listed compatible eufy smart lock or security device who want a rechargeable spare or replacement battery.
Not ideal for: People shopping for a complete smart lock, or eufy owners whose exact device is not listed as compatible.
- Capacity:10,000 mAh
- Battery type:Lithium-ion
- Listed compatible devices:eufyCam S4, S330 3-in-1 Video Smart Lock, E330 Video Smart Lock, Smart Lock S230, Smart Lock E31, and Smart Drop
- Battery weight:16 g
- Item dimensions:4.4 x 3.1 x 0.9 inches
- Color:Black
Our verdict“Buy this only as a spare or replacement for a confirmed compatible eufy device; it is not a standalone smart-lock option.”
Wyze Palm Lock, Smart Door Lock with Palm Vein Recognition, Keyless Entry, Wi-Fi, Alexa & Google Compatibility
The Wyze Palm Lock stands out for buyers who want contactless palm-vein entry and a stated BHMA3 certification, rather than the lower BHMA2 designation listed for the Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2. Auto-locking, tamper alarms, emergency power options, and traditional key access add practical fallback and security features; Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility can also fit a connected home. The supplied details do not specify a rechargeable battery capacity or battery life, so I would not treat it as a clear rechargeable-pack choice alongside the TCL Palm Vein Smart Lock D1 Pro, which lists a 7,800 mAh rechargeable battery and up to eight months of use. Wyze also requires Wi-Fi for remote control, and palm-vein access may take adjustment. This is the better fit for certification-focused biometric access, but not for shoppers whose first requirement is confirmed rechargeable power.
Pros:- Palm-vein recognition provides contactless keyless entry.
- Listed BHMA3 certification distinguishes it from the Wyze Bolt v2’s BHMA2 designation.
- Auto-locking and tamper alarms add security-oriented functions.
- Supports Alexa and Google Assistant and includes traditional key access.
Cons:- The supplied product details do not specify a rechargeable battery pack or battery life.
- Remote control requires a Wi-Fi connection.
- Palm-vein recognition may take some users time to learn.
Best for: Home or office users who want palm-vein entry, auto-locking, remote monitoring, and a stated BHMA3 certification.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a clearly specified rechargeable battery pack or who want remote functions without Wi-Fi.
- Model:WPLCK1
- Lock type:Deadbolt
- Authentication:Palm-vein recognition
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi
- Smart-home compatibility:Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
- Weather resistance:IP53
- Certification:BHMA3
- Recommended uses:Home and office
Our verdict“Choose the Wyze Palm Lock for palm-vein access and its stated BHMA3 certification, but choose the TCL D1 Pro if confirmed rechargeable capacity is essential.”
How We Picked
I ranked these options by how directly they answer the search for a smart lock with a rechargeable battery pack, then by the practical value of their access methods, connectivity, and stated compatibility. A complete lock with a clear rechargeable-battery match earns a stronger place than a battery sold separately, since the latter only helps owners of a compatible lock. I also weighed whether each product’s named features solve a distinct buyer need, such as fingerprint entry, palm-vein recognition, video monitoring, Matter over Thread, or Apple Home Key.
The lineup includes products that are not directly comparable: several are locks, while the Lockin, Nyboer, and eufy listings are replacement battery products. I keep those parts in the roundup because they address battery replacement, but rank them for existing owners rather than new-lock shoppers. I also give more weight to clear model compatibility and useful day-to-day access choices than to a long feature list alone. Because the supplied product information does not establish battery runtime or box contents for every lock, I avoid treating rechargeability as confirmed unless the listing identifies a relevant battery or pack.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Smart Lock With Rechargeable Battery Pack
Before choosing, separate the lock itself from the battery arrangement: the two are related, but a rechargeable replacement pack may not come with a new lock. I recommend checking the details that affect installation, charging, and daily access before comparing smart-home features.
Check Whether the Rechargeable Pack Is Included
A product described as rechargeable may refer to a battery sold separately rather than a lock supplied with a pack. Check the included-items list and the manufacturer’s battery instructions, not just the headline. If the lock uses a removable pack, ask whether you can charge a spare while the installed pack keeps the door working. A pack that requires removing the only power source may mean planning a backup way inside during charging. For replacement batteries, match the exact lock model and generation; similar names do not prove electrical or physical compatibility. This distinction matters more than a small feature difference if your main goal is to avoid disposable cells.
Match the Lock to Your Door Before Ordering
Smart locks must fit the door’s thickness, bore hole, backset, and deadbolt setup, so compare your measurements with the installation requirements first. A retrofit-style product and a full deadbolt replacement can have very different installation demands even if both offer app control. Check whether the door and frame align cleanly; a bolt that already sticks can drain power faster and make any motorized lock unreliable. If you rent or cannot modify the exterior, confirm whether the design works with your existing hardware. Do not assume a familiar lock brand guarantees a fit with your current deadbolt. Getting the mechanical match right is more valuable than choosing an extra access feature you may rarely use.
Choose Access Methods Around Household Habits
Fingerprint and palm-vein recognition can make key-free entry quick, but they suit different users and conditions. A household with wet or frequently worn gloves may prefer a backup method rather than relying on one biometric reader. Consider whether children, guests, cleaners, or caregivers need individual access and whether the lock supports codes, keys, or app permissions that fit that routine. Video-equipped models add visitor awareness, while a simpler deadbolt may be easier to manage and maintain. Before buying, decide which entry methods must work even when a phone is unavailable. The best feature set is the one that covers your household’s fallback needs without adding complexity you will not use.
Plan for Network and Smart-Home Compatibility
Remote control and smart-home integration depend on more than the lock’s feature list. Wi-Fi locks may need a reliable signal at the door, while Matter over Thread requires a compatible Thread border router and a supported smart-home controller. Check the exact platform support for your setup instead of assuming that a general “smart home” label covers it. If you mainly want keypad or biometric entry, a lock with fewer network dependencies may be simpler to keep running. If you want remote access, alerts, or voice control, confirm which functions work locally and which depend on an internet connection. This can prevent buying a connected lock whose most appealing features are unavailable in your home.
Compare Charging Routine, Backup Access, and Power Warnings
Rechargeable power shifts maintenance from buying cells to remembering a charging cycle, so think about where and how the pack charges. A removable pack can make charging more convenient if a spare is supported, but the replacement process should be simple enough to follow. Look for clear low-battery alerts and check what happens if the battery runs flat; a physical key or another independent entry method can reduce lockout risk. Do not rely on phone notifications as your only warning if your network or app may be unavailable. Ask whether the lock retains settings during a battery change. These details often shape ownership more than a manufacturer’s headline runtime figure.
Pay More Only for Features You Will Use
More expensive smart locks often add video, facial recognition, broader integrations, or bundled access methods, but each extra feature can bring more setup and upkeep. If your main goal is rechargeable power and dependable entry, prioritize battery compatibility, door fit, and backup access before paying for a camera. A premium video lock makes more sense when visitor monitoring is part of your daily routine. For a first smart lock, a familiar entry method and straightforward installation may matter more than advanced automation. Replacement packs are usually a targeted purchase for owners of the matching lock, not a shortcut to powering a different model. Compare the feature you will use every week with the maintenance it adds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does every smart lock in this roundup include a rechargeable battery pack?
No. The roundup includes complete locks as well as standalone battery products, and the supplied product names do not confirm an included pack for every lock. The Lockin, Nyboer, and eufy battery listings are replacement components with stated model compatibility, not universal accessories. Before ordering a lock, check its box contents and battery instructions; before ordering a pack, confirm the exact lock model and generation. If rechargeable power is a must-have, treat an unclear battery listing as unconfirmed rather than assuming the pack is included.
Can I use a rechargeable battery pack from one smart lock brand in another?
Do not assume that you can. Battery packs are shaped and configured for particular lock models, and the lineup names narrow compatibility to products such as Veno, H3B Pro, or specified eufy devices. A pack that fits physically may still have different contacts or electrical requirements. Match the replacement to the lock maker’s stated compatibility list and model number. If you cannot confirm a match, ask the manufacturer before installing it.
Should I choose a complete smart lock or buy a replacement battery pack?
Choose a complete lock if you are replacing hardware or buying your first smart lock; a battery pack alone will not provide a lock or add smart features. A replacement pack is the sensible choice when you already own the exact supported lock and need a compatible spare or replacement. Check whether the spare lets you charge one pack while another remains installed, since that can reduce downtime. If your existing lock is not listed as compatible, compare full-lock options rather than trying to adapt a battery from another model.
Is a palm-vein lock a better choice than a fingerprint lock?
Neither method is automatically better for every household. Palm-vein models such as the TCL and Wyze options differ from fingerprint-focused locks like the Tapo DL110, eufy E31, and Wyze Bolt v2 in how they identify the user and how the reader is used. Consider who will use the lock, whether they prefer contactless access, and what backup entry methods are available. For households with varied needs, a biometric reader should complement—not replace—an access method that works for guests or when recognition fails. Compare the complete access setup rather than choosing on biometric type alone.
What should I verify before buying a Wi-Fi, Matter over Thread, or Apple Home Key lock?
Check that your home network or smart-home equipment supports the specific connection the lock requires. Matter over Thread needs a compatible Thread setup, and Wi-Fi control depends on a usable signal near the door. Apple Home Key is most relevant to buyers already using compatible Apple devices and home systems, so confirm support for your own setup. Also distinguish local unlocking from remote app features, which may rely on network access. If you want basic key-free entry rather than automation, a simpler lock may avoid extra setup without giving up the function you need.
Conclusion
For the best overall match, I would start with the eufy Security Smart Lock E31 because it pairs fingerprint entry with a specifically named rechargeable-battery ecosystem. The best value in this roundup depends on whether you need a whole lock or only a replacement: the Tapo DL110 is a straightforward fingerprint-and-Wi-Fi lock option, while the eufy rechargeable battery is a targeted purchase for owners of a listed compatible device. For a best premium-style feature set, the Lockly Vision Zeno is the pick for shoppers who want a video doorbell camera and Apple Home Key, while accepting added connected hardware. For beginners, I would favor a lock whose installation, battery inclusion, and backup entry method are clearly documented over one chosen for a long list of integrations. For specific needs, choose a TCL or Wyze palm-vein model for that recognition style, Matter over Thread only if your home supports it, and a Lockin, Nyboer, or eufy battery only when it matches your existing lock. Before buying, confirm door fit and the exact battery arrangement; those two checks determine whether the smart features will be useful in everyday use.
