Description
The Superlift Battery Back Up Kit – RDO-6 is a dedicated rechargeable lithium battery backup designed for the Superlift RDO-6 Roller Door Opener.
Once installed, the battery provides emergency backup power to the RDO-6 during a mains power outage, allowing the roller door opener to continue operating when normal household power is unavailable.
With a 22.2V lithium battery, 2000mAh capacity and 50.4Wh energy capacity, the kit is an ideal addition to RDO-6 installations where continued automatic garage access during blackouts is important.
Product Code: RDO6-BAT
🔋 Dedicated RDO-6 Battery Backup
The Battery Back Up Kit is specifically designed for the:
- Superlift RDO-6 Roller Door Opener
It connects to the compatible RDO-6 system to provide an alternative power source when mains electricity is unavailable.
This allows the operator to retain powered operation during temporary power interruptions, subject to the available battery charge and operating conditions.
⚡ Automatic Backup During Power Outages
Under normal conditions, the RDO-6 operates from its mains power supply.
When mains power is interrupted, the battery backup system provides power to the compatible operator.
This can help maintain garage access during:
- Blackouts
- Storm-related power failures
- Temporary electrical faults
- Local electricity interruptions
- Emergency situations
🚪 Maintain Automatic Roller Door Access
Without battery backup, a power outage normally requires the RDO-6 to be manually disengaged before the roller door can be operated manually.
Installing the compatible battery backup allows powered operation to remain available while sufficient battery charge remains.
This is particularly convenient where:
- The garage is the primary vehicle entrance
- The roller door is used as a regular household entrance
- There is limited alternative access to the garage
- Manual door operation would be inconvenient
- The property experiences regular power interruptions
🔋 22.2V Lithium Battery
The RDO-6 Battery Back Up Kit uses rechargeable lithium battery technology.
Published battery specifications include:
- Nominal Voltage: 22.2V
- Capacity: 2000mAh
- Energy Capacity: 50.4Wh
- Charging Specification: 25.2V / 1000mA
The battery is designed to work with the compatible RDO-6 charging and backup power system.
🔌 Integrated Backup Power
The battery backup integrates with the compatible RDO-6 rather than operating as a separate portable power supply.
Once correctly connected, the battery remains part of the garage door opener system and is available when mains power is interrupted.
There is no need to connect a portable generator or temporary external power supply during a typical blackout.
🔄 Rechargeable Design
The battery is rechargeable and is designed to remain available for future power interruptions.
Once mains electricity is restored, the compatible system can recharge the battery for subsequent use.
As with all rechargeable batteries, available capacity will gradually reduce as the battery ages.
🌩️ Ideal for Blackouts & Storms
Power failures can occur during storms and severe weather when convenient garage access may be particularly important.
Battery backup provides an additional level of convenience by allowing the compatible RDO-6 to continue electrically operating the roller door while adequate battery charge remains.
🏠 Ideal for Residential Roller Doors
The battery backup is particularly useful for residential garages fitted with a Superlift RDO-6.
Typical applications include:
- Residential roller doors
- Family homes
- Townhouses
- Garages with limited alternative access
- Properties susceptible to power outages
- Garages used as a regular household entrance
🧰 Upgrade an Existing RDO-6
The Battery Back Up Kit can be added to a compatible existing Superlift RDO-6 installation.
This makes it a convenient upgrade for customers who originally installed their RDO-6 without battery backup.
The operator model should always be confirmed before ordering.
🛠️ New RDO-6 Installations
The battery backup can also be installed together with a new RDO-6 Roller Door Opener.
Adding the battery during the original operator installation provides backup functionality from the beginning.
🌡️ Wide Operating Temperature Range
The RDO-6 battery is specified for operation within an ambient temperature range of:
- -20°C to +45°C
The battery and operator should always be installed in accordance with the applicable installation instructions and protected from unsuitable environmental conditions.
🚨 Manual Release Still Required
Battery backup provides an additional method of operating the roller door during a mains power failure, but it does not replace the RDO-6 manual release system.
The manual release should remain correctly installed and accessible.
This provides a mechanical method of disengaging the operator if:
- The battery is discharged
- The battery has reached the end of its service life
- The operator develops a fault
- Powered operation is otherwise unavailable
🔋 Battery Performance
The amount of operation available from the battery during a blackout will depend on several factors.
These can include:
- Battery age
- Battery condition
- Available state of charge
- Roller door size
- Roller door weight
- Door spring balance
- Number of operations
- Ambient temperature
- Length of the power outage
A correctly balanced and mechanically sound roller door will place less unnecessary load on the operator and battery system.
🔄 Battery Replacement
Rechargeable batteries are consumable components.
Over time, the battery’s ability to hold its original charge will reduce and replacement will eventually be required.
If backup operating time becomes noticeably shorter, the battery and charging system should be inspected.
