When to change batteries?

There's no precise timing for changing batteries as their performance varies across different brands. Additionally, the environment in which they're used also impacts battery life. Our tests have shown that Duracell batteries can still function at a voltage of 2.4V.
Therefore, it's advisable to monitor the battery voltage changes and set an alert for low voltage, such as 2.5V. Under default settings, the WS1 device batteries are expected to last 4–6 months, whereas the WS1 Pro device batteries can last 8-12 months.
If feasible, we recommend connecting the device to USB power while keeping the batteries installed for greater reliability. This way, the batteries serve as a backup, and you can also set alerts for when the USB power is disconnected. This setup ensures continuous monitoring and peace of mind regarding power conditions.
