Battery Backup Systems: Protecting Your Family

2023-12-28 6 min read

Florida's hurricane season and frequent thunderstorms mean power outages are a regular occurrence. A battery backup system for your garage door opener ensures you can always access your home and vehicle, even when the power is out.

Why Battery Backup Matters in Florida

Consider these scenarios where battery backup proves invaluable:

Hurricane evacuation: When a storm approaches and power fails, you need to leave quickly. A battery backup allows you to open your garage door and evacuate safely.

Medical emergencies: If someone needs immediate medical attention, you can't afford to wait for power restoration to get your car out.

Storm aftermath: Following a hurricane, power can be out for days or weeks. Battery backup provides continued access to your home and vehicles.

Security: An operational door means you can properly secure your garage even during an outage.

How Battery Backup Systems Work

Modern battery backup systems are integrated into the garage door opener:

Automatic activation: When power fails, the system automatically switches to battery power with no action required from you.

LED indicators: Most systems show battery charge status and alert you when the battery needs replacement.

Multiple cycles: A fully charged battery typically provides 20-50 open/close cycles, depending on the door's weight and size.

Recharging: When power returns, the battery automatically recharges, ready for the next outage.

Choosing the Right System

Consider these factors when selecting a battery backup system:

Built-in vs. add-on: Some newer openers include integrated battery backup. For existing openers, add-on systems are available.

Capacity: Larger batteries provide more cycles but cost more. Consider your typical outage duration.

Compatibility: Ensure the system works with your opener brand and model.

Warranty: Look for systems with at least a 2-year warranty on the battery.

Installation and Maintenance

Professional installation ensures optimal performance:

- Proper mounting and wiring, System programming and testing, Integration with existing safety features, User training on operation and indicators

Maintain your battery backup by: - Testing monthly by unplugging the opener, Checking indicator lights regularly, Replacing the battery every 3-5 years, Keeping the area around the opener clean and ventilated

Our Recommendation

We install and recommend battery backup systems for all our Florida customers. The peace of mind during storm season is invaluable, and the investment typically pays for itself in the first emergency it helps you through. Contact us today to add battery backup to your existing opener or discuss a new opener with integrated backup.
