Battery Backup Systems in Jacksonville and St. Augustine

Power outages during storms can cut off access to your garage. When the electricity goes out, most garage door openers stop working completely, which means your car stays stuck. That puts you in a tough spot, especially when rain is pouring down or wind is picking up.

Wagmore Garage Doors installs reliable battery backup systems that keep your garage door running when the power goes out. We make the process fast and straightforward. Call us today to get your garage door ready before the next storm hits.

How Battery Backup Systems Work

When the power goes out, the battery backup automatically kicks in. You don't need to flip a switch or do anything manually. The system lets you open and close the door multiple times before the battery runs low.

Once the power comes back, the battery recharges on its own. You won't need to replace it after every outage. The whole process runs in the background, so your garage door keeps working as usual.

Types of Battery Backup Systems

Not every garage door setup is the same, so it helps to know what kind of backup system fits your opener. We can take a look at your current setup and point you in the right direction. Here are the two main options:

• Built-in backup: Found in newer openers, this option uses fewer parts and stays compact.
• External backup unit: Connects to your existing opener so you skip a full replacement.

When to Replace a Backup Battery?

If your garage door doesn't work during a power outage, that's a clear sign your backup system needs attention. Some situations are more obvious than others, but every one of the following requires immediate action:

• No backup installed: Your opener has never had a battery backup system.
• Outage failures: The door stopped responding the last time your power went out.
• Older opener: Your opener model doesn't support a backup system.
• Charging issues: The battery runs out too quickly, even after it's replaced.

How Long Does a Battery Backup Last?

During a power outage, a battery backup provides a limited number of open and close cycles. This is usually around 20 to 50, depending on the system. That's enough for most short outages, but not for days-long use. Once you hit the cycle limit, the door will stop responding until power returns or the battery recharges.

Battery life varies by brand and usage, but most backup batteries last between 2 and 5 years before they need replacement. If your battery is old or is taking longer to recharge after outages, it's time to swap it out. We can check your current battery and let you know exactly what it needs.
