1. An electromechanical padlock assembly comprising
a lock body,
a lock core located at least partially within the lock body and selectively rotatable with respect to the lock body, the lock core comprising a key receptacle,
a bolt operating member rotationally secured to the lock core and configured to move a lock bolt of a lock for locking and unlocking said lock, and
a programmable key,
wherein said electromechanical padlock assembly is configured to be powered upon insertion of the programmable key in said key receptacle,
a position sensing device arranged to transmit position data to said programmable key, wherein said position sensing device comprises a sensor member mounted externally on the lock core and is arranged to detect at least one position of the lock core in the lock body, and
further comprises a lock body holder configured external to the lock body to hold the lock body in a predefined position, the lock body holder comprising a projecting portion that is configured to be physically received through an opening formed in the lock body and that comprises a sensor target that is positioned within the interior of the lock body when the projecting portion is received through the opening formed in the lock body and configured to interact with the position sensing device,
wherein the position sensing device is arranged to detect a lock body position.
