# Batteries

The **Batteries** hardware type is designed to help system administrators keep track of the batteries assigned to locks or other hardware. This tracking aids in understanding the lifespan of each battery.

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, this hardware type is for administrative purposes only and does not impact rentals or the behavior of other hardware.
{% endhint %}

To view the **Batteries** list, click on "Hardware" on the left side of the dashboard. This will display a list of all your hardware, including batteries. To filter and view only the batteries, click on the "Batteries" filter.

When adding a new battery to the system, you can assign a label for easy identification and select its hardware state, both of which can be updated at any time.
