Garage Door Opener Batteries & Backups
Garage door opener batteries and backup systems keep your opener running reliably and ensure access even during a power outage. Replacement batteries maintain proper operation of remotes, keypads, and safety systems, while backup units allow the opener to function when electricity is unavailable.
Types of replacements:
- Remote/keypad batteries – coin-cell or 9V batteries for handheld remotes and wireless keypads.
- Opener backup batteries – rechargeable packs installed in compatible openers for operation during power loss.
Tip: Always check your opener’s model number and your remote/keypad’s battery type before ordering.

Can I install a backup battery in any opener?
