Description
In many parts of the country the power goes out often, and getting home at night only to release the gate by hand is neither convenient nor safe. A backup battery keeps the opener running during the outage, so you can keep using your remote as usual.
There are two approaches, depending on the motor. DC openers usually accept a battery kit with a charger that connects to the control board and keeps itself charged. AC openers don't use that kit; instead, the opener can be connected to a properly sized UPS or to the home's inverter, if it can handle the motor's startup load. During the visit we check your equipment and tell you which option applies.
How many openings you get from the battery depends on the motor, the weight of the gate and the condition of the battery, so we don't promise a fixed number. Batteries wear out over time and should be checked at every maintenance visit.

Frequently asked questions
How many times will the gate open on battery power?
It depends on the opener, the weight of the gate and the battery. During the visit we give you a realistic idea for your setup.
Can I connect the opener to my home inverter?
Sometimes, if the inverter can handle the motor's startup load. We check first so your inverter isn't overloaded.
