Charge the Battery
The battery charges when the garage door opener
is plugged into a 110Vac electrical outlet that has
power and requires 24 hours to fully charge. A fully
charged battery supplies 12Vdc to the garage door
opener for one to two days of normal operation
during an electrical power outage. After the
electrical power has been restored, the battery will
recharge within 24 hours. The battery will last
approximately 1 to 2 years with normal usage.
Instructions for replacement are provided with the
battery. To obtain maximum battery life and prevent
damage, disconnect the battery when the garage
door opener is unplugged for an extended period
of time, such as a summer or winter home.
NOTE: When the garage door opener is in battery
backup mode the garage door opener lights,
Timer-to-Close, and Remote Close features are
unavailable.
* If applicable, part number 485LM.
