Charging the battery.
• Battery will take 24 to 48 hours to fully charge.
A fully charged battery supplies 12 V DC to the opener
for one to two days of normal operation during an
electrical power outage. If the battery voltage drops too
low, the battery will disconnect and the opener will no
longer operate under battery power.
After the electrical power has been restored, the battery
will recharge within 48 hours. Under normal usage
batteries will last 3 to 5 years.
To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage,
disconnect the battery when opener is unplugged for
an extended period of time.
NOTE: Door operation may be limited until battery is
fully charged. The opener’s lights will not turn on
during battery mode.
