August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge
This component offloads the power-intensive Wi-Fi communication from the lock's internal battery to a mains-powered outlet. By pairing the lock via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to the bridge, the internal 802.11 radio is disabled, reducing the standby current draw and extending battery life from weeks to months.

CR123A Lithium Battery (2-Pack)
The 4th Gen lock requires high-discharge lithium chemistry to handle the voltage sag during Wi-Fi transmission and motor actuation. Using non-lithium or low-capacity cells results in premature low-voltage triggers in the lock's power management circuit.

Adjustable Deadbolt Strike Plate
Mechanical friction between the bolt and the strike plate forces the motor to increase its torque output. According to electromechanical principles, higher torque requires higher current draw (Amperage), which rapidly depletes the chemical energy of the small-form-factor CR123A cells.
