Electronic lock comprising a boost converter for selectively increasing a voltage

An electronic lock comprising:

• a first power bus;
• a battery holder configured to hold at least one battery to thereby supply power of a first voltage to the first power bus;
• a boost converter configured to selectively increase a voltage of the first power bus from the first voltage to a second voltage;
• a first processor connected to the boost converter;
• and
• a first memory storing instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the electronic lock to:
• determine a need for increased voltage;
• and
• trigger the boost converter to activate to thereby increase the voltage of the first power bus.

A method for managing power supply of an electronic lock, the electronic lock comprising:

• a first power bus;
• a battery holder configured to hold at least one battery to thereby supply power to the first power bus of a first voltage;
• and a boost converter configured to selectively increase a voltage of the first power bus to a second voltage, the method comprising:
• determining a need for increased voltage;
• and
• triggering the boost converter to activate to thereby increase the voltage of the first power bus.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for managing power supply of an electronic lock, the electronic lock comprising:

• a first power bus;
• a battery holder configured to hold at least one battery to thereby supply power to the first power bus of a first voltage;
• and a boost converter configured to selectively increase a voltage of the first power bus to a second voltage, the computer program comprising computer program code which, when executed on the electronic lock, causes the electronic lock to:
• determine a need for increased voltage;
• and
• trigger the boost converter to activate to thereby increase the voltage of the first power bus.
