Electrical storms come with a number of challenges and problems that can quickly disrupt your day; one of these problems being power outages. For some homeowners, power outages can make it impossible to open their garage door. As a precaution, we recommend homeowners with electric garage doors equip their with a backup battery. In this blog, ProLift Garage Doors will explain the purpose of backup batteries, and how this will provide ease and convenience.
What Is It
Backup batteries are simply small, removable, rechargeable batteries, homeowners can depend on during an emergency power outage. Rechargeable batteries will vary slightly depending on manufacture, but overall share the same functionality. During an outage, a fully charged battery is designed to supply a door opener with 24 hours of standby power during which it can operate up to 20 full cycles (1 cycle = 1 open and 1 close).It typically takes these batteries about 4.5 hours to be fully charged.
Emergency Outage
The key purpose of backup garage door batteries are to provide solutions during a power outage. Sure, power outages are not common, but it is wise to have options when they do happen. We encourage all of our customers, who own an electric garage door, to invest in an emergency battery. This small investment can save a considerable amount of preventable stress. Work with our team of professionals, at ProLift Garage Doors, to see what backup battery will work best in your home.
Ease and Convenience
