Question
Is it worth getting a battery backup for a garage door opener?
Yes, if you rely on the garage as your main entry. A battery backup lets the opener run a few cycles in a power cut, so you are not forced to use the manual release. It is optional on many openers. A power cut can leave you stuck outside or inside, so a backup avoids the manual release.
A battery lasts for a limited number of cycles and needs replacing after a few years, so ask about its life when you choose it.
