Although the manual says that the battery needs replacing annually -- mine lasted 7 yearsTLSRULZ wrote: ↑ This was the reason I stayed away from the backup battery models ... you will need to replace them annually .... and I did not see a need for the off chance I would use it.
I think in last 20 yrs I can only think of 1 time and that was because the garage circuit tripped and I was too lazy to go back into the house to flip it back.
Lucky you it lasted 15 years
The ONLY implementation of this that made sense is the Ryobi opener which uses a standard 18v power tool battery. But the Ryobi opener is expensive.TLSRULZ wrote: ↑ This was the reason I stayed away from the backup battery models ... you will need to replace them annually .... and I did not see a need for the off chance I would use it.

Also, I agree. Our power has never once been out since 2007 when I installed the opener without a battery backup when I wanted to open the garage door.
I think if you unplug it, the beeping might stop... Right now the beep means low battery.
Apparently not very popular too. The local HD has been clearing at least some components (and other Ryobi stuff) to Habitat for Humanity thrift stores in my area.
