What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Battery Backup Installation & Replacement?
A service to add or replace the 12–24V DC battery system that powers your opener during outages.
We install the brand-matched battery or external backup module, wire it to the operator, confirm charger health, and function-test: open/close on battery power, photo-eye reversal, and force limits.
Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Verify → install/replace → test → train with a single tech/PM.
Every configuration: Built-in packs (belt/chain openers) and external battery modules for jackshaft/direct-drive units.
Door-first approach: We balance and tune the door so battery cycles are maximized and operation stays safe.
Coastal-smart: Corrosion-resistant mounting and clean cable routing for OC environments.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Snap a photo of your opener model/label and any existing battery compartment or external backup.
Note recent power outages and how often you use the door during them.
Decide if you want app alerts (some smart openers report battery status).
Call our team—we’ll confirm compatibility and bring the right battery kit for your opener.
Common Scenarios We Handle
Aging or failed batteries (beeping units, warning lights, limited travel)
New opener installs where a backup is recommended/required
Wall-mount (jackshaft) operators needing an external battery module
High-cycle households that want more reliable access during storms/outages
Smart home users who want low-battery/charging alerts in the app
Safety & Site Control
Verify door balance, photo-eyes, and force settings; protect work area and vehicle clearance.
Compatibility & Sizing
Confirm opener model/voltage and battery type (internal pack vs external module); check charger output and firmware (where applicable).
Removal & Prep
Disconnect power; remove expired or swollen batteries; inspect terminals and harnesses; clean contacts.
Professional Installation
Install brand-matched battery pack or mount external module; tidy wiring; secure with proper strain relief; restore power.
Power-Loss Test & Calibration
Simulate outage; run open/close cycles on battery; verify speed/force, photo-eye reversal, and soft-start/stop behavior.
Walkthrough & Handover
Review expected cycle count, charge time, care/storage tips, and app alerts; leave a quick reference with install date.
What’s Included
Compatibility check (opener model/voltage/firmware)
Battery pack/module supply (brand-matched or approved equivalent)
Clean install with cable management and corrosion-smart fasteners
Charger verification and power-loss function test
UL 325 safety checks (photo-eyes, force settings)
Owner training & documentation (install date, part numbers, care tips)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 30–60 minutes per opener; add time for jackshaft modules or multiple doors.
Key cost drivers: Battery type (internal pack vs external module), opener brand/model, age/condition of charger, and any wiring refresh.
Estimate clarity: Line items for battery hardware, installation, and optional add-ons (surge protector, smart notifications setup, spare battery).
Insurance & Claims Help
If replacement follows a surge, flood, or storm event, we’ll provide install photos, model/serials, and a brief narrative for your records.
Separated scopes: Opener repair vs. battery replacement priced clearly.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Lockouts during outages—manual release may be unsafe on heavy doors
Opener strain from weak batteries attempting partial cycles
Security exposure if the door can’t close reliably without utility power
Emergency access delays for family or caregivers

Electrical Integrity: Verified charger output; correct polarity; secure harness; fused branches where specified.
Safety & Compliance: UL 325 checks, proper force limits, photo-eye alignment; documented power-loss test.
Cycle Optimization: Door balance, nylon rollers, and proper springing extend battery cycle count.
Smart Integration: Enable low-battery/app alerts; label install date and recommended replacement interval.
Coastal OC: Corrosion-resistant fasteners; protected routing away from salt/condensation zones.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cycles will I get on battery power?
Depends on door weight/insulation and temperature—typically several cycles during a standard outage on a properly balanced door.
How long does it take to recharge?
Usually 24 hours for a full recharge after a complete drain (varies by model).
Will this work with a jackshaft opener?
Yes—most wall-mount units use an external battery module we mount neatly near the operator.
How often should I replace the battery?
Commonly 1–3 years depending on usage, heat, and charging conditions; we label the install date and set reminders if connected.
Can I add app alerts?
Many smart systems support low-battery notifications—we’ll enable them during setup.
What if my charger is bad?
We test charger output; if faulty, we’ll quote a charger repair or opener replacement path.
