Rely On Our Battery Back Up Unit for Your Garage Door
When we initially think about losing power, we generally correlate it with a thunderstorm in the spring or summer. However, the reality is we obviously can lose power any time of year, for a number of different reasons! One thing most of us don’t realize is that if you lose electricity and have an attached garage, your garage door operator won’t work. If the electricity is out and you need to leave in your vehicle which is now stuck in your garage, it can be a major inconvenience. The Door People at Overhead Door Company have a solution you can rely on that won’t leave you powerless!
Battery Back-up Unit
The Battery Back-up Unit is a garage door accessory that can be easily installed and provides true peace of mind. When the power is out, the Battery Back-up will do the heavy lifting.
Overhead Door’s Battery Back-up, powered by Interstate Batteries®, provides reliable garage door operation in the event of electricity outages. It is compatible with Overhead Door’s next generation of garage door openers, the Destiny® and Odyssey®, which combine reliability, speed and power, all with quiet operation. This garage door accessory enables an opener to operate the garage door at 3.5 inches per second, and, in the event of an extended loss of electricity, the unit will run up to 50 cycles in a 24-hour period after initial power outage. It is only compatible with Overhead Door’s Destiny® and Odyssey® garage door openers.
With several mounting options available, this accessory is designed to be unobtrusive. It’s charged and powered via a connector cable running between the opener and the unit, which means there is no need for it to be plugged into an outlet. The Battery Back-up can be easily installed by either an Overhead Door distributor or the homeowner. The unit is equipped with an 8-AMP, sealed lead-acid battery (SLA) from Interstate, one of the nation’s largest battery replacement companies, reaches full charge within 48 hours and has front facing LEDs that indicate charge status.
Another piece of advice that is helpful when the power goes out is to know how to use your garage door’s emergency release feature. This feature allows you to operate your door manually which can be vital if the electricity goes out or if you are having problems with your operator. This can get you by until you can call a professional for service.
