As I suspected and said, there is a built in battery backup for our garage gates. I'd have to check further, but I think it lasts up to 3 weeks on its own battery power...if I read correctly.

Paul,
Yes, there is a built-in battery backup for the gate operator. This is the factory rating for it below showing the number of cycles/standby days that the factory rates it for:
The factory can be a bit optimistic, so real world may be slightly less cycles.
One other thing to note, we did not install your access control/tag reader system, so I don’t have the specifics on that system, but if it’s not backed up by a battery backup as well, your tag reader will not function in event of a power outage.
Thanks,

I don't remember...is there a built in battery in our gates, and, if so, how long will it run after a power loss.
