For many safes on the market, changing the batteries is a difficult and time-consuming chore. Look for a safe that simply uses 4 standard AA batteries. Before you purchase, try replacing the batteries. Look at the number of screws that will have to be removed and replaced and look where they are located.
Also make sure that the bolt mechanism and its electronic board are contained together in a single replaceable part. Ideally the bolt mechanism is fixed on the door rather than in the inside cover.
