My bad – they are Chamberlain openers, if it still matters.

I put a couple of a.c. powered garage door openers in my garage a couple of 
years ago. They both had an onboard 12v battery as backup that allowed a few 
operations when the grid was down. 

I used them for a couple of months that way before I got power run out from the 
house. I charged them with a small Morningstar CC and about a 20W module. I bet 
they could easily do what you are looking for, and be ready if AC ever makes it 
to them.

I am pretty sure they are made by Genie, and my model is not made anymore, but 
they have a current equivalent.

Subject:[RE-wrenches] 12/24v garage door opener.....

 

Hi all,   any recommendations where to find 12 or 24v garage door openers.    
Can’t remember this coming up on the list beforehand.   It is just for a single 
car garage door.    Don’t want to use an inverter, usually better to go direct 
to a dc motor.

Once I have a suitable opener, I can design the rest of the system around it.

Thanks for any/all input. &nb sp;                             John Veix,
