## Known Issues with battery reporting
The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock (Gen 4) uses different battery technology (lithium-ion) than the other locks. The battery charge value reported by the lock detail API has frequently been reported as incorrect for these models.
Other August locks expect to be powered by AA alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries. Rechargeable batteries in these locks will result in incorrect reporting of battery charge.
