I have 2 UltraQ locks and they both go through batteries and just stop working all the time. This is an absolute joke. I’m about to rip these out and replace them with something more reliable.

Try to use Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, they last quiet long,at least 5 months (my ultraloq is ubolt pro with separate wifi adapter)…

Is your wifi enabled ultraloq? could be why the batteries are drained too fast!
