opener before servicing or repairing.

too low, the battery unit will no longer operate.
If the opener does not provide the charging feature, plug
in an AC adapter (sold separately) to charge the battery.
Please contact Skylink to purchase the AC adapter.
The battery life is about 3 to 5 years for normal usage.
To obtatin maximum battery life and prevent any
damage, turn off the Battery Backup Unit when the
garage door opener is supposed to be unplugged for
a long period of time.
Note: Door operation may be limited if the battery is
not fully charged, or the garage door opener light
may not turn on during battery operation.

You can use the AC adapter (sold separately) to charge
the BA-100.
