Hi,

for a schoolassignment we have to make a fictive product and we've chosen an electronic bike lock.
It should work the same way as an electronic car lock, with a key where you can push a button to open your lock etc.

But now we have a giant problem with the batteries. None of us has a technical background so we don't have a clue
which batteries to use.
We figured out that if we use 6 AA batteries our lock works for 16 hours (I guess we did the calculation wrong)
so we're looking for a way that the batteries work longer.

So we started thinking of what electronic toy also has to receive constantly, and we thought of a keyfinder (a thing
makes noise if you whistle, so you can find your keys back).

So now is my question: does anyone know how such a keyfinder works (especially how the batteries work, when does it receive ...).

And if anyone knows a solution for our problem it's also welcome.
