Changing the battery in a garage door opener is a fairly simple task that can be completed in just a few steps.

Here’s a step-by-step guide from Reseda Garage Door that should help you change the battery in your garage door opener:

Step 1: Locate the battery compartment The first step is to locate the battery compartment in your garage door opener. The battery compartment is typically located near the motor unit of the garage door opener. In most cases, you’ll need to remove the cover of the battery compartment to access the battery.

Step 2: Determine the type of battery needed Once you’ve located the battery compartment, you’ll need to determine the type of battery that your garage door opener requires. Most garage door openers use a 9-volt battery, but some models may require a different type of battery. Check your owner’s manual to determine the correct type of battery needed for your garage door opener.

Step 3: Remove the old battery Before removing the old battery, make sure that the garage door opener is unplugged from the power source. Once you’ve done that, you can remove the old battery by gently pulling it out of the battery compartment.

Step 4: Insert the new battery Once you’ve removed the old battery, insert the new battery into the battery compartment. Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery match up with the corresponding terminals in the battery compartment. You may need to push down on the battery to ensure that it’s securely in place.

Step 5: Test the garage door opener After inserting the new battery, plug the garage door opener back into the power source and test it to make sure that it’s working properly. If the garage door opener doesn’t work, check to make sure that the battery is installed correctly and that the terminals are making good contact.

Step 6: Replace the battery compartment cover If the garage door opener is working properly, you can replace the cover of the battery compartment. Make sure that the cover is securely in place to prevent the battery from falling out.
