I have the Schlage Z-Wave Plus locks and they have been great. The main issue with battery life is fitment between the bolt and the strike hole. There should be no friction between them when engaging or retracting the bolt. I’m still on my original batteries after nearly 2 years.

I have two of the Schlages and they work great. The Keymaster integration works flawlessly once they are set up. It was the setup that took a bit but that’s because I didn’t know how Zwave is ui worked at the time. Battery life is not a problem at all.
